The Wisconsin Supreme Court's decision against a tribal-state gaming compact will cost the state $75 million, The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
The court invalidated a provision of the compact that authorized more Class III games and a higher rate of revenue-sharing. Without the games, some tribes plan to revert to agreements with a lower sharing rate.
The move will cost the state $75 million out of an expected $100 million payment this year. Only one tribe, the Oneida Nation, plans to pay its full $20 million payment. The Oneida Nation, the Forest County Potawatomi Tribe and the Ho-Chunk Nation were expected to contribute $90.5 million of the $100 million.
