On Thursday, a divided Arkansas Supreme Court upheld a lower court ruling that the Arkansas Racing Commission's award of the Pope County casino license to Legends Resort and Casino and Cherokee Nation Businesses violated Amendment 100 to the Arkansas Constitution. 'Upon learning the conclusions of the split decision of the Arkansas Supreme Court regarding the casino litigation affecting Pope County, I issued an updated exclusive letter of support as required by Amendment 100 to Cherokee Nation Businesses in the name of Cherokee Nation Entertainment, with the technical issues identified by the Court resolved,' Cross said Monday in a written statement.

Pope County Judge Ben Cross said Monday he has sent an updated letter of support for Oklahoma-based Cherokee Nation Businesses to be awarded the Pope County casino license by the Arkansas Racing Commission.
