In more Pulaski County news, its county judge--Barry Hyde--has written the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs opposing the Quapaw tribe's proposal to put 160 acres of its land in the county into trust. The tribe claims to have no plans--at present--to build a casino on that tract of land. But in case it's now the red man who speaks with forked tongue, its proposal for a land trust should be denied. The state already has enough ways for Arkansas' most desperate and gullible to gamble away the rent money, including the notorious Arkansas Lottery.
When it comes to gambling in Arkansas, enough is more than enough, thank you.
