OKMULGEE, Okla. (AP) — The Muscogee Nation National Council has voted in favor of a no-confidence resolution regarding the tribe's principal chief.

The vote marks the second time this month the council has shown it might have the necessary votes to remove George Tiger from office.

The Tulsa World revealed that Tiger signed a secret contract in 2009 with a developer of a Broken Arrow casino project, which would have competed with the Creek Nation's Tulsa casino.
