Wis. governor not swayed by gaming pact suit

THURSDAY, APRIL 3, 2003

Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle (D) doesn't plan on stopping negotiations with tribes just because Republican lawmakers have filed a lawsuit, The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports.

Republicans are upset that Doyle signed one deal with the Forest County Potawatomi Tribe that is open ended. He's negotiated a similar deal with the Oneida Nation.

In exchange for expanded gaming, the tribes are sharing more money with the state.
