Thinking about passing the tribal gaming ban bill is already giving Idaho lawmakers a headache these past few days.
This as Attorney General Lawrence Wasden warned that the measure may spark multiple legal headaches should the Congress approve House Bill 127, which seeks to ban lucrative video gaming at tribal casinos in Idaho.
The New Observer reported that House Assistant Minority Leader Ilana Rubel of Boise asked Wasden to conduct a legal review of the bill which is now in the House State Affairs Committee. Though Rubel isn’t a member of the committee, she still wanted her caucus to know the facts about the bill.
“I’m certainly concerned about the tribes, this seems like an effort to bring them to their knees,” Rubel said.
