WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 29, 2001 Although Assistant Secretary Neal McCaleb says he believes gaming compacts recently negotiated in New Mexico are more beneficial to tribes, he can't approve them yet. Two tribes who don't approve of the new agreements are holding them up in the federal court system. Ten tribes and Attorney General Patricia Madrid want the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals to resolve the dispute. The tribes need to pay $91 million to the state for payments owed under a 1997 compact before the new ones, negotiated this year, can be sent to the Department of Interior for McCaleb's approval. Former Assistant Secretary Kevin Gover is back in private practice and once again representing Pojoaque Pueblo, a tribe contesting the settlement. Get the Story:
