Panel to examine future of gambling in Michigan

Wednesday, April 14, 2004  

The "Future of Gambling in Michigan" is the title of a forum being held at Central Michigan University tonight.

The panel will include representatives of various interests -- tribes, racetracks, anti-gamblers, lawmakers and Gov. John Engler. Audrey Falcon, chief of the Saginaw Chippewa Tribe, which operates a casino is the only tribal member on the panel.

A forum organizer says the hot topic will be a bid to allow electronic gaming machines at racetracks. Tribes are opposing the proposal. Another hot issue will be revenue-sharing in gaming compacts.
