There was a deal in place that was supposed to autorenew and he wants to renegotiate it. That way he can balance the budget on the backs of the tribes without having to raise taxes. He has threatened to make gambling illegal in Oklahoma again. Does he have any idea how many people work for the casinos? How much money it brings in from people who come to Oklahoma to gamble? What a moron, just like the guy he idolizes in Washington.
