"Governor Rick Snyder and state Attorney General Bill Schuette have told a northern Michigan Indian tribe they will do whatever is necessary to stop a casino from being built in downtown Lansing. The proposed casino would go up just a few blocks from the state Capitol.
The Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians already operates five casinos in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
The proposed casino in downtown Lansing sits on a parcel that is not currently considered tribal property. The governor and the attorney general say that means the land cannot be used for a tribal casino."
