Menom. Casino Rejected

From JS Online. Nine miles to the west of Berry Lake is the Menominee Casino. A nice place and has a lot of my money. Lighten up,I'm not an addict but I have fun and it's my money. Looks like their plans will be delayed a couple months.

U.S. rejects plans for Kenosha casino - JSOnline

The federal government has rejected the latest bid to open a huge Indian casino in Kenosha's Dairyland Greyhound Park, though a spokesman for the project immediately said the tribe would fight the decision in federal court.

"Our project hit another speed bump," said Evan Zeppos, spokesman for the six-year effort to open a $1 billion Menominee Indian casino at the financially ailing dog track, which loses millions of dollars a year. He said the legal challenge would attack rules issued by the Interior Department last year that made it more difficult to receive federal regulatory approval for an off-reservation casino.

"It's a standard not approved by Congress or the regulatory procedure," Zeppos said. "They can't just make up a rule and say this is the new guidance."


What? "Not approved by Congress",That's not what I heard last fall! I thought this was Bush's fault?

You know Kagen, Obama and Doyle will get this pushed through after Jan. 20th! There has to be some kind of pay back for all the votes from Menominee County.

Oh by the way, the new casino in Keshena in 09 or 10, looks like it will be a grand place.
