What’s your feeling on this?  I’ve heard that Oklahoma Indian tribes are trying to repeal the previous authorization/approval to protect their own casino interests across the AR/OK border and that local Arkansas Indian Tribes are against the repeal to protect their own interests in developing a casino in Pope County as well as the money/investments already made.  The repeal will also require a special election in the county to approve any future development.  I also head that 60% of voters in Pope County were against the original authorization.

Arkansas Issue 2, which will be on the ballot for November 2024, is focused on regulating casino licenses in the state. Specifically, it would repeal the existing casino license for Pope County and require any future casino licenses to be approved by a countywide vote. This measure is part of ongoing debates around local control over casino expansion in Arkansas, particularly as Pope County has been a contentious location for a casino license since 2018.

Supporters argue that the amendment ensures local communities have the final say over whether casinos can operate in their area. On the other hand, opponents believe that removing the existing license for Pope County could lead to economic and legal complications, as significant investments have already been made.  The broader implication of Issue 2 is that it introduces more stringent requirements for new casino developments across the state, effectively giving local voters greater power in such decisions.
