The Jackson County Baptist Association announced its opposition to a $375 million casino proposed on Choctaw land off Miss. 57. Haley Barbour has said he is opposed to the project but can we really trust him after Barbour and a majority of legislators brushed aside Christians' concerns and swiftly approved gambling expansion to include land-based casinos. State law was also changed to allow new casinos to expand inland into areas not previously permitted. I also noticed that the Band of Choctaws have given $20,000 to Barbour's campaign fund. (a small price to pay to insure your $375 million casino gets built)
