PHOENIX - Gov. Jan Brewer has signed into law a bill intended to derail a Southern Arizona tribe's plan to build a Las Vegas-style casino-hotel in the core of the Phoenix metro area.
Brewer signed the bill Tuesday, the day before the deadline for her to act on the bill approved by the Legislature last week.
Once it takes effect 90 days after the current legislative session ends, the
Casinos in Arizona must be built on American Indian reservations.
The tribe is seeking to have the federal government add the site to the tribe's reservation. A legal challenge is pending in federal court.
