IPR: Michigan says Supreme Court serious about Bay Mills casino

Tuesday, January 8, 2013  

"The U.S. Supreme Court made a move Monday that may indicate it’s interested in deciding the fate of a northern Michigan casino.

The Vanderbilt Casino was opened quietly by the Bay Mills Indian Community in 2010, and it was shuttered temporarily the next year by a federal court order.

The Upper Peninsula tribe maintains it has the right to open and run the off-reservation casino without permission from the state and in September the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with the tribe.

The state is appealing that ruling to the nation’s highest court."
