As part of their effort to open a new gaming facility, tribe members hired two associates at Strategic Capitol Consulting firm, Tom Robbins and Shawn Rigger, and Steve Tilley -former House representative- to lobby on its behalf.
Federal law allows Native American tribes to open casinos in states outside of their reservations under certain circumstances. Any such move would need approval from Greitens.
The move comes after Osage Nation chief Geoffrey Standing Bear earlier told the Post-Dispatch that the tribe wrote two checks for the inauguration as a way to establish a good relationship with the governor.
“We thought we would show him respect,” Standing Bear said at the time.
In hiring Tilley, the tribe is getting a lobbyist with experience under the Capitol dome. He was elected to the House in 2004 and was elevated to speaker in 2010. He left office in 2012 overseeing a veto-proof majority of 109 Republicans.
