Representatives of nine Wisconsin tribes met with Gov. Jim Doyle (D) on Friday to discuss gaming compacts that were invalidated by the state Supreme Court.
Doyle is eager to sign new deals that will pass legal muster. But some tribal leaders said they aren't sure how quickly an agreement can be reached. The vice-chairwoman of the Oneida Nation said the tribe wasn't ready to sign at all.
Some tribes plan to operate under provisions of old compacts The Forest County Potawatomi Tribe said it would send $6.4 million to the state but not $34 million as required by the disputed compact.
