"We have entered a new phase of legal gambling in South Dakota. This summer, the Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe is pursuing a casino in Sioux Falls, by openly dangling the promise of millions of dollars for local and state governments.
Details of the deal sought by the tribal government came to light recently when its president, Anthony Reider, met with the Legislature’s interim committee on state-tribal relations.
No mention of the tribe or the topic appeared on the committee’s agenda for the June 27 meeting.
Instead, Reider and Steve Christensen, general manager for the tribe’s Royal River Casino at Flandreau, stepped forward during the committee’s scheduled period for public testimony."
