Lawmakers in Wisconsin are again calling on Gov. Scott Walker (R) to approve the Menominee Nation off-reservation casino. A report from the Associated General Contractors of America showed a decline in construction jobs in one county and stagnant activity in another. Lawmakers say the Kenosha casino will create 1,400 construction jobs in those counties. “We can’t wait. Approve this project, and let’s get people working again," the lawmakers said in a statement, The Racine Journal Times reported. Walker has not said when he will make a decision on the casino.
