The city of Green Bay is asking the Wisconsin Supreme Court to review a decision involving the Oneida Nation.

The Oneida Seven Generations Corp, a tribal entity, received a conditional use permit to build a waste recycling plant. The city pulled the permit after the project generated significant controversy.

In a decision this March, the Wisconsin District III Court of Appeals said the city acted illegally. The city, however, is telling the Wisconsin Supreme Court that it had a valid reason to revoke the permit due to alleged misrepresentations by OSGC.

The city's revocation prompted the OSGC to move the project to the reservation. But that ran into controversy among tribal members, who voted to kill the idea and then later dissolved the corporation.

The tribe and the OSGC are now being sued in federal court for alleged breach-of-contract. A developer is seeking $400 million for the failed project.
