Letter: Bad River Band should address air quality at its casino

Wednesday, June 27, 2012  

"Mike Wiggins Jr., chairman of the Bad River Indian Nation claims to be concerned about “air quality” in an article published June 13 when it comes to iron ore mines, yet workers employed in the Bad River Casino are forced to work in a smoke-filled workplace, which is more devastating to human health than any mine would be.

Mike Wiggins Jr. doesn’t want to discuss the quality of air in casinos ... this was his only response to me when I tried to broach the issue with him.

Putting an end to smoking in a casino is very simple — a few cheap signs would do the trick."
