Seminole Nation Tests Sovereignty With Casino Style Venture
The Seminole Tribe of Florida uses its Hollywood reservation to operate a large bingo hall and tax free cigarette sales, asserting tribal sovereignty. Sheriff Butterworth argues regulation should apply and questions management profits, while a U.S. district judge has sided with the tribe in two cases. Tribal leaders say the ventures raise funds for the tribe, with cigarette sales reaching $800,000 monthly and bingo grossing $1 million in six months.
