Idaho tribes react to gaming suit

TUESDAY, JANUARY 15, 2002

The leaders of two north Idaho tribes on Monday criticized an anti-gaming group for trying to thwart their constitutional initiative.

The Coeur d'Alene Tribe and Nez Perce Tribe have started a voter initiative to allow continued gaming on their reservations. The tribes hope to put the issue on the November ballot.

State Sen. Laird Noh, a Republican from Kimberly, said her anti-gaming group would sue to prevent the tribes from completing their effort.
