Lawmakers Press Navajo Compact Rethink in New Mexico
A New Mexico legislative panel urged Navajo Nation and Governor Martinez's administration to renegotiate a compact that would let the tribe open three more Las Vegas style casinos over 15 years. Navajo leaders oppose altering the agreement limiting expansion while permitting the low stakes Shiprock facility to convert. The panel backed keeping current casinos, avoiding alcohol loosening, and emphasized no set precedent for other tribes. The proposal requires approval from the Legislature and U S Interior Department.
