The state of Wisconsin is collecting $69 million in revenue-sharing payments from eight tribes.
The state was expecting more than $100 million. But the Ho-Chunk Nation said it wouldn't be able to make its $30 million payment.
However, the Forest County Potawatomi Tribe did pay $40.5 million after obtaining a short-term loan. The tribe earlier said it was having trouble securing financing in the wake of a court decision striking down key provisions in new gaming compacts.
