The Obama administration has asked the Menominee Nation of
Wisconsin to update its land-into-trust application for an off-reservation casino.
As part of a settlement, the Bureau of Indian Affairs agreed to take another look at the casino.
Part of the process allows the tribe to submit more information before a final decision is made.
"We hope to have a decision early next year," Chairman Randal Chevalier told The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
The tribe has been meeting with members of Congress to discuss the project. And a meeting with Gov. Scott Walker (R), who will have veto authority over the casino, will take place on the reservation next week, The Kenosha News reported.
