Gov. Stitt abandons tribal tag compact approach

To keep Cherokee Nation license plates street legal outside of Cherokee land by the end of the year, Governor Stitt is throwing out his demand that the Cherokee Nation accept a one-size-fits-all approach to all tribal car tags. Initially, the Governor demanded the Cherokee Nation must accept the same terms and conditions that the Chickasaw and Choctaw Nations agreed to during the tribal tag compact discussions. But that has changed as they have offered the Cherokee Nation a unique compact to address their needs.
