Broken Arrow Casino
Featured in Top Stories
Opponents of a new Indian casino under construction in Broken Arrow say the project could set state and national precedents for where Indian casinos can be located. That's because the tribe building the casino doesn't own the land where the casino sits, it is leasing the land. The project is now getting close scrutiny from local, state and federal officials. At the National Congress of American Indians this week, Assistant Interior Secretary for Indian Affairs, Larry Echo Hawk, said his agency may have a future "decision point" on the red clay casino. But for now, he urged patience to allow the national Indian gaming commission to move forward with its process to determine if the site is eligible for gaming. He said his agency's future involvement with the issue will depend on the NIGC’s decision.

New Voting Machines
Featured in Top Stories
While Oklahoma lawmakers have declined federal funds to implement provisions of the new national health care law, they've had no reservations about another use of federal money. Congress approved the "help America vote" act in 2002--awarding Oklahoma about 26 million dollars to upgrade its voting system. As a result, Oklahoma voters will be casting ballots in future elections with new technology, paid for by the U.S. government.

The Obama administration recently announced plans to cut U.S. defense spending by almost half a trillion dollars over the next ten years as part of a strategy to reduce the size of the federal budget and re-position the military. That amount could double if automatic cuts triggered by the failure of the deficit-reduction super-committee to reach an agreement go into effect. We spoke with Oklahoma U.S. Senator Tom Coburn to get his reaction to the proposed cuts.
