The chairman of York County’s state legislative delegation says he is willing to do anything in his power to prevent the Catawba Indian Nation from building a massive gaming casino on its reservation here.  The Tribe filed suit this week, claiming that the Gambling Cruise Act that allows casino boat gambling off the coast of Charleston also allows the Catawbas to have a casino on its reservation.  Sen.
