Nebraska Gov. Mike Johanns (R) said he is worried about tribes developing off-reservation casinos if state voters approve a gaming referendum.
Two initiatives on the November ballot will authorize casinos and electronic pokers and slot machines. If either is approved, tribes will be able to offer Class III games.
State Sen. DiAnna Schimek, a Democrat from Lincoln, supports tribal gaming. She said Johanns doesn't have to worry about off-reservation casinos because the state has a right to veto them.
