The Winnebago Tribe of
Nebraska hopes to take part in potential settlement talks over a commercial casino in Iowa.
The tribe's proposal for the $122 million Warrior Casino &
Hotel in downtown Sioux City was rejected by the Iowa Racing and Gaming
Commission in April 2013. Another jilted bidder is already suing, contending
the process was unfair.
"It was a three-horse race, and we need to be part of the solution," Ho-Chunk Inc. President and
CEO Lance Morgan told The Sioux City Journal.
Morgan said the tribe spent $1 million pursuing the project.
