PENSACOLA, Fla. — At a rural crossroads in northwest Florida, the state may encounter a tough choice in its ongoing debate over the future of gambling.
It's here — amid mobile homes, cow pastures and cotton fields near the Alabama-Florida line — that a small, Alabama-based Indian tribe wants to expand its gambling operations into the Sunshine State.
Rebuffed so far by Gov. Rick Scott, the Poarch Creek Band of Indians is suggesting it might adopt a hardball negotiating stance: Let us offer gambling in a few Florida locations, or we could consider growing and selling marijuana on our property.

Technically independent but the feds can lean on them pretty heavily, I think.

This is a gross oversimplification but Indian reservations are considered independent nations but still a part of the USA. Think Guam, phillepines, Puerto Rico but more autonomy.

He holds the record for the largest fine ever paid. His company was ripping off Medicare/caid and had to pay over a billion dollars.
The Indians obviously have not offered enough.
