The
Senate Indian Affairs
Committee held an oversight hearing this morning on
National Indian Gaming Commission.
The hearing is the committee's second on gaming since the start of the 110th Congress. A June 2007 hearing looked into the regulation of Class III gaming.
This time, the committee will be looking at general issues of the NIGC "to make sure they're fulfilling their mission," staffer Allison Binney said last month at the
National Congress of American Indians winter session in Washington, D.C. "We're really agency-focused, making sure agencies are fulfilling their obligations to you."
The hearing started at 10:30am and lasted about 90 minutes. Audio clips can be downloaded below:
