Kenosha casino pits tribes against each other
Lucrative casino revenue has pitted two Indian tribes from Wisconsin against each other.
The Menominee tribe of Keshena has been trying to get permission to open a casino in Kenosha. The Potawatomi of Crandon operates a casino in downtown Milwaukee.
Recently, the Mohegans of Connecticut entered the picture. It's investing money in the Kenosha project to help the Menominee tribe.
Maybe you've seen or heard the ads opposing the Mohegans' involvement. The ads by a group called "No East Coast Gaming in Wisconsin" claim the Kenosha casino will only help the Mohegans. The group sponsoring the ads include the Potawatomi and other organizations. They say it would be a dangerous precedent for tribes to move across state lines beyond their historic homeland.
The Menominee say the casino profits will provide better education, health care and law enforcement for its tribal members. |
