The mayor of Auburn, New York, wants the Seneca-Cayuga Tribe of Oklahoma to have a casino in the city.
Mayor Timothy Lattimore asked Gov. Eliot Spitzer (D) to negotiate a deal with the out-of-state tribe. Lattimore cited Spitzer's recent approval of an off-reservation casino for the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe.
At one point, the Seneca-Cayuga Tribe was up for a casino in the Catskills, where the Mohawk casino will be located. But after the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeal threw out the Cayuga land claim, the tribe was dropped from the deal.
The tribe is still buying property within its ancestral territory. The tribe wants the land placed in trust.
