FOREST COUNTY - The federal Bureau of Indian Affairs has rejected a deal that calls for the state of Wisconsin to reimburse the Forest County Potawatomi for any losses the tribe suffers if the rival Menominee Nation opens a casino in Kenosha.
Friday's decision is not the final word, however. Gov. Scott Walker has until Feb. 19 to approve or deny the off-reservation casino in Kenosha.
The Potawatomi tribe operates its own lucrative casino in Milwaukee and its gaming compact required the state to reimburse it for losses linked to a Kenosha facility.
