The Seneca-Cayuga Tribe of Oklahoma is still interested in developing a casino in New York the mayor of Auburn says.
The tribe recently proposed a second casino in Oklahoma. But that doesn't worry Auburn Mayor Tim Lattimore. “The chief is excited about what's happening in Oklahoma and he's really excited about the possibility of New York,” Lattimore told The Auburn Citizen, referring to Chief Paul Spicer. Lattimore said there are three possible casino sites in Auburn. The city is seeking the support of Gov. Eliot Spitzer (D), who recently approved an off-reservation casino for the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe. The tribe's ancestors lived in New York but other tribes say out-of-state tribes shouldn't be able to reclaim sovereignty there. Get the Story:
