Newspaper says Wisconsin doesn't need the Menominee Nation off-reservation casino:
Wisconsin doesn’t need yet another casino. Gov. Scott Walker should reject the bid for an off-reservation casino in Kenosha.
The market is already saturated, according to a university study last fall. Virtually everyone in Wisconsin is within a two-hour drive of a casino, UW-Green Bay professor Daniel Alesch determined.
So any revenue for a new casino would come from another tribe or community that already has a casino. That’s not economic growth. It’s a shift in economic activity and jobs.
