Pokagon Band to release revenue sharing figures this month

Thursday, September 12, 2013  

The Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians is set to release revenue sharing figures later this month and local governments are already clamoring for a cut.

The Pokagon-New Buffalo Local Revenue Sharing Board has received "specific" requests for more than $570,000. These requests are deducted before the rest of the money is distributed to the community.

In 2012, the tribe shared $6.5 million in revenues. The amount is based on 2 percent of electronic gaming revenues at the flagship Four Winds Casino in New Buffalo.
