The Forest County Potawatomi Tribe of Wisconsin is making nearly $10 million in compact payments for its Milwaukee casino.

Milwaukee County and the City of Milwaukee will each receive about $4.9 million. The amount is $1 million more than the county and city normally get under the compact.

The tribe and the state are currently negotiating a new compact because the only one was deemed illegal by a state court. The tribe is withholding a $43.6 million payment to the state while talks continue.
