Kansas governor to wait on urban casino compact

Thursday, January 27, 2005  

Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius (D) will wait to pursue a compact she signed with two tribes for an urban casino, her chief legal aide said.

The compact with the Kickapoo Tribe and the Sac and Fox Tribe was not approved by a legislative committee. That didn't kill the deal but it requires Sebelius to take the compact to the full Legislature.

The tribes want to open a casino outside of Kansas City and share revenues with the state. The tribes already operate casinos on their reservations.
