The tribe wants to spend $33.5 million on renovations at the Ojibwa Casino in Marquette, The Houghton Daily Mining Gazette reported. Another $6.5 million would be spent on the facility in Baraga. Gaming projects have been controversial on the reservation. In December 2014, voters rejected plans to relocate the Baraga casino. Get the Story:
