The Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin would like to convert an existing bingo hall into a "friendly" casino, a spokesperson said.

The tribe's new gaming compact authorizes Class III games at the bingo hall, which is in Madison. Some local officials are opposed to it. Gov. Jim Doyle (D) says he will defer to a voter referendum.
