There are several differences between the Hard Rock Casino and this one being built in BA. The Zcherokees are a very large tribe who has hired and trained people to manage a large operation. They do a great job. They also have their own police force. The Kialegee tribe has 436 members total, none of whom live in Broken Arrow as far as has been determined. I doubt seriously they have any one trained to properly manage a casino as they do not currently have any casinos. I also doubt they have a police force given the smal number of tribal members. The Hard Rock Casino is built upon Cherokee land. The Kialegee Tribe has no land rights in Tulsa County. The Kialegee Tribe has not submitted the required paperwork to build a casino nor have they entered into a contract with the City of Broken Arrow for utility, police or fire service. Please stop stirring the to and do your job! This is exactly what I dislike about the media today; irresponsible and inaccurate reporting. Please gather he facts before you publish drivel such as this. Here is no comparison.
