CL – State should honor Choctow compact

Mississippi should honor the compact with the Choctaws. How many times have the Choctaws seen the non-Indian government sign treaties and then break them?

This should not be another broken agreement with the tribe. If, as the Choctaws claim, the compact allow the tribe to develop and operate gaming operations on reservation lands, then the state should honor that compact.
