Members of the Cherokee Nation Executive and Finance committee convened Aug. 28 to discuss federal contracting challenges, strong gaming revenue and a federal court ruling against plans for Cherokee Nation Businesses to build the Legends Resort and Casino in Russellville, Arkansas.
A federal judge ruled against CNB in its casino licensing dispute. CNB CEO Chuck Garrett said the ruling was delivered earlier in the day.
“The judge handed down his order; his judgment today as I’m driving over here,” Garrett said. “But the punchline is that he sided with the state of Arkansas on each count.”
