The board in charge of distributing gaming revenues from the Nottawaseppi Huron Band of Potawatomi Indians of Michigan met today.
The FireKeepers Local Revenue Sharing Board approved $351,383 in requests from local governments. But it asked for more information about $182,978 in order to make sure the money is directly caused by the FireKeepers Casino or the reservation.
