The Menominee Nation met with Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R)
on Wednesday to make one last push for its off-reservation casino.
Chairman Craig Corn said the tribe has met Walker's criteria for the $800 million casino in
Kenosha. But two tribes -- the Forest County Potawatomi
Tribe and the Ho-Chunk
Nation -- remain opposed so that could kill the project.
Walker is expected to announce a decision tomorrow.
