Transparency concerns surround Council casino discussions When the Cherokee Tribal Council waded through its final hours of discussion — and, ultimately, a vote — on the $280 million decision to move forward with the Indiana casino purchase, few tribal members saw them do it. Normally, Tribal Council meetings are broadcast live online and later archived there as well. That’s how the Dec. 15 special session regarding the potential purchase was conducted, though the archived video was later deleted. After three hours of discussion, Tribal Council voted to table the vote in part to give tribal members a chance to receive more information on the proposed venture.
