The common council in Kenosha, Wisconsin, voted 12-2 on a resolution supporting the
Menominee Nation off-reservation casino.
The council will send a letter to
Gov. Scott Walker (R), asking him to approve the casino. Members also want a sit-down meeting to discuss the project.
"It’s all about jobs, money, and moving Wisconsin forward. We’ve gone from being an industrial town to a bedroom community, and we’re hurting. We want to send a message to the governor that Kenosha voted for it twice," Alderperson Patrick Juliana said at a council meeting, KenoWi reported.
Waker has laid out tough criteria for off-reservation casinos.
Among other factors, he says all tribes in the state must agree to new development.
