Thursday, June 10, 2004  

A Republican lawmaker is pressuring the Cayuga Nation of New York to pay $15 million a year for the right to host a casino in the Catskills.

The tribe has agreed to pay $5 million to Sullivan County. State Sen. John Bonacic claims that's not enough to over the costs of the casino.

The Bureau of Indian Affairs has given preliminary approval to take land into trust for the Cayuga project.
