On Monday, Navajo Nation lawmakers approved legislation to reopen the tribe’s four casinos. The legislation approves the reopening of Navajo Nation Gaming Enterprise facilities at a minimum 50-percent capacity, and permitting the Navajo Blue Travel Plaza to operate at full capacity.
Before its passage, Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez and Vice President Myron Lizer expressed concerns about it.
The Navajo Nation was hit ard by COVID-19, and a shelter-in-place order remains in effect.
