El Fiscal General acusó al gobernador de no cumplir con las leyes estatales relacionadas con las renovaciones de compactos.
El fiscal general de Oklahoma, Gentner Drummond, se dirigió recientemente al gobernador Kevin Stitt en relación con una disputa legal en curso por un acuerdo de juego tribal, según un informe de Associated Press. Acusó al gobernador de "no cumplir con la ley estatal" y dijo que ahora se involucraría en el litigio.

Stitt firmó acuerdos de juego tribales en 2020, lo que resultó en una larga lucha legal. Drummond se puso en contacto con Stitt por carta y por teléfono personal para revelarle que se iba a unir a la demanda.

En su carta escribió: "Como debe comprender perfectamente, este prolongado y costoso litigio es el resultado directo de su negativa a cumplir con la ley de Oklahoma.

"Los cuatro pactos de juego tribales que firmaste no eran válidos desde el principio porque no contabas con la aprobación o la autorización de la Legislatura de Oklahoma para suscribirlos. "

Continuó señalando que estaba participando en la demanda "para representar los intereses del estado" a petición del presidente de la Cámara de Representantes, Charles McCall, y del presidente pro tempore del Senado, Greg Treat. "

La batalla legal comenzó después de que varias tribus, incluidas las naciones cheroqui, chickasaw, ciudadano potawatomi y choctaw, presentaran una demanda ante el tribunal federal de distrito de Washington por los pactos de Stitt con la nación comanche, los otoe-Missouria, la ciudad tribal de Kialegee y la banda de indios cheroquis unidos de Keetoowah.

El gobernador no renegoció los pactos en 2019, alegando que los acuerdos aprobados por los votantes de 2004 habían expirado. La negociación impulsó al estado a obtener una mayor parte de los ingresos de juego de las tribus.

Posteriormente, un juez federal renovó automáticamente los pactos y se puso del lado de los líderes tribales. Según Drummond, Stitt más tarde contrató a firmas de abogados privadas para participar en la demanda, acumulando cerca de 600.000 dólares en honorarios legales.

La oficina de Stitt aún no ha respondido a los comentarios ni a las acusaciones de Drummond.
