Cherokee Nation Entertainment has sued the state of Arkansas over the amendment that passed Tuesday that repealed the license they were awarded earlier this year to build a casino in Pope County. They claim the newly passed amendment undermines their legal rights and would interfere with several contracts they have. #ARnews #ARpx

#NEWS: Legal action within Arkansas GOP — State Republican Convention Chair Jennifer Lancaster & 12 delegates file lawsuit against Secretary of State and RPA Chairman Joseph Wood alleging Civil Rights violations. In June, delegates adopted a rule to close the Republican Primaries in Arkansas, which party leaders declared “null and void” in an executive meeting last month — saying the decision wouldn’t be implemented because the item was not on the agenda ahead of the convention. @KARK4News @FOX16News @CapitolViewAR #arpx
