Arkansas: Opposing groups spar as signatures submitted to exclude Pope County from casinos

The great casino saga of Pope County rolls on. The group, Local Voters in Charge, on Friday submitted signatures to the state attorney general’s office to place a constitutional amendment on the November ballot repealing the casino license recently awarded to the Cherokee Nation for a planned casino in Russellville.

Arkansas voters in 2018 approved an amendment to allow casino gambling in four Arkansas counties, including Pope. Since then, the Cherokee and Choctaw nations have been active in their pursuits of a license to build and operate a casino in Russellville. After years of legal wrangling, the Arkansas Racing Commission awarded the license to the Cherokee Nation in late June.
