TUESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 2001 Thanks to September 11's terrorist attacks, the state of New York is looking for additional revenue streams. One might come through the Seneca Nation. The tribe's proposal to open three casinos had been stalled due to Democratic objections but now Gov. George Pataki (R) says the state is getting "closer" to finalizing a deal. The proposal calls for the tribe to open two off reservation casions and another on reservation. It would involve some sort of revenue sharing with the state over slots. Now that the state is facing economic fallout due to the attacks, the proposal is becoming more promising. The Legislature first has to authorize Pataki to complete negotiations, and then the tribal membership has to approve a compact. Another proposal to allow gaming in the Catskills is also gaining momentum. The St. Regis Tribe want to open a casino there and others are reported interested. Get the Story:
