Casino: Choctaws proceed with plans

Despite court challenges, local protests, organized opposition and a substantial amount of preening by politicians from the local level to the Governor’s Mansion, the Bok Homa Casino in Jones County appears set to open next month.

The Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians chose to quietly ignore the protests, the legal challenges and the political theater and proceed with construction of the facility after reviewing what they believe is their sovereign right to do so. Tribal Chief Miko Beasley Denson maintained a low profile and let other political leaders hold the spotlight.
