"White Tribal Chairwoman Erma Vizenor says the real work selling the idea of the tribe's offer for a Twin Cities-area casino will start next week. In a surprise development at a Senate hearing earlier this week, Visenor said the tribe would finance 100 percent of the casino construction and split the profits with the state.
That money would be enough to cover the state or local share of a new Vikings stadium with no local or state cost. Vizenor says she plans to meet with key legislators in person next week."
