Last week, a political action committee was formed to oppose the proposed constitutional amendment to allow a 14th casino license to be issued for a project on the massive lake.
A day later, on March 14, the PAC received a $75,000 contribution from Strategic Capital Consulting, a lobbying firm representing the Oklahoma-based tribe that also wants to build a casino on the lake.
For now, the group that is pushing for the constitutional change says the signature-gathering effort has not been affected by the opposition voiced by their potential tribal competitor.
