twitterCasino plan stirs discomfort within proposed partner tribes
Wednesday, March 30, 2005 | 9:15 a.m.
ST. PAUL -- Rank-and-file members of two northern Minnesota Indian tribes that would jointly run a new Twin Cities casino with the state aired concerns about Gov. Tim Pawlenty's gambling proposal hours before a House committee pored over it.
The Regulated Industries Committee was planning up-or-down votes Tuesday night on the governor's casino bill and another to allow slot machines at Canterbury Park racetrack in Shakopee.
Earlier in the day a group of tribal members from the White Earth and Leech Lake bands of Ojibwe denounced the actions of their tribal leaders in pursuing the casino partnership. They said that tribal members are less than unified in support of the deal, and questioned if their tribal constitutions even allow it.
