Officials in New York are worried that a bill by Rep. Richard Pombo (R-California) will kill plans for five off-reservation casinos.
New York Gov. George Pataki (R) settled land claims with five tribes, including three from out-of-state, for casinos in the Catskills. Officials say Pombo's bill could hurt the plan because the tribes have no historical connections to the Catskills.
Pombo, chairman of the House Resources Committee, is holding a hearing today on the issue. Among those to testify is the United South and Eastern Tribes, which voted against casinos for out-of-state tribes in New York.
