PITTSBURG, Kan. (AP) — Supporters of a stalled southeast Kansas casino are urging backers of the project to attend commission meetings in a county whose lawsuit prompted the delay.  The Kansas Lottery picked Kansas Crossing to run a state-owned casino in Pittsburg in Crawford County.

The $70 million project was selected despite being half the size of a $145 million Castle Rock Casino proposal in Cherokee County.

The Joplin Globe reports Cherokee County and Castle Rock sued, causing construction of the Crawford County casino to be temporarily halted.

Kansas Crossing supporters sent fliers to Cherokee County residents urging them to voice their displeasure to county officials for causing local governments to lose $970 a day in gambling revenue.

Cherokee County Commissioner Pat Collins says the commission won’t be swayed by the effort.
