The Potowatomi tribe didn’t want the competition and withheld $25 mill that it owed the state last year.
Our previous democrat governor had made an agreement with the tribe to have the state cover any losses from the opening of a competing casino. The Menomonees have offered to cover these costs for the state. Now this afternoon we hear that the Menonomees & Seminoles have sweetened the pie once again with the $200 mill offer for the arena.
Some believe that Walker’s decision to run for POTUS is to blame as some Iowa Conservatives did not want him to approve the casino deal. He made the decision the day before he left to go to Iowa. He blames the situation entirely on the previous gov.
What will Walker do now? It is getting interesting.
I bet he approves the casino.
