Sources of Conflict: Imbalance of Power
The Tribe’s gaming ordinance grants the gaming commission “total authority over all gaming regulation matters, including final decision-making authority over its own decisions.”
Without hearing and pursuant to the authority granted in the ordinance, the Commission revoked the casino’s gaming facility license and ordered it closed pending repairs to the HVAC system. The casino’s request for a hearing was denied and no other appeal was available under the ordinance.
The Council amended the gaming ordinance, abolished the Commission, and replaced it with a new regulatory agency with much greater limits on its authority.
