Racine County Board tables Indian casino proposal

Wednesday, Nov. 15, 2000 | 8:58 a.m.

Robert Miller, the board chairman, said the 26-0 vote Tuesday to indefinitely set aside the proposal ends negotiations with the tribe.

The Lac du Flambeau had proposed a casino, hotel and convention center at Interstate-94 and County Trunk K.

Tribal negotiators expressed a greater desire to proceed with another proposed casino at Shullsburg in Lafayette County, Miller said.

"The major factor was that the tribe wanted to move forward and a lot of us on the board had unanswered questions, and there really wasn't a lot of time for more research," Miller said.
