From nativetimes.com -The Fort Sill Apache are gearing up for another round in their long-running fight to open a casino in southern New Mexico. The tribe last week was granted a 30-acre reservation near Deming – the first new reservation in the state in decades. With that status, tribal Chairman Jeff Houser says the tribe is again hoping to develop a casino. But as Houser prepares to travel the state to win support from the governor, opponents are also lining up. U.S. Sen. Jeff Bingaman sent Interior Secretary Ken Salazar a letter this week outlining what he says is long-standing opposition to gaming by the tribe. More News New Mexico
