Group opposing off-reservation casinos won't name backers

Friday, December 14, 2012

A new group that is running ads against off-reservation casinos won't name its backers.

Enough Already WI! launched its campaign last month. The group says 24 casinos is enough for Wisconsin but won't say who is behind the effort.

"We don't disclose our donor base, and we got a broad coalition of people that support preventing off-reservation gaming expansion in the state," organizer Brian Nemoir told Fox 11 News.

The group is targeting four off-reservation sites but only two represent actual proposals that have been submitted to the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

Nemoir recently worked on the campaign of Republican Senate candidate Tommy Thompson, who was defeated by Tammy Baldwin (D).
