An Oregon tribe is offering to help another tribe build a casino -- so long as the other tribe drops its off-reservation casino proposal.
In a May 19 letter, the Grand Ronde Tribes Chairwoman Cheryle A. Kennedy offered to finance an on-reservation casino for the Warm Springs Tribes. "We believe strongly that a new casino on your reservation," she wrote, according to the Associated Press.
But the Warm Springs Tribes don't plan to bite. A tribal attorney said an on-reservation casino won't generate as much revenue as the casino proposed near Portland.
