Governor refuses to reconsider Kenosha casino request

MADISON - Governor Scott Walker says he won't change his mind about approving a Kenosha casino, rejecting a new offer from the Menominee Nation to help pay for construction of a new Milwaukee Bucks arena.

Walker on Monday sent the tribe a letter rejecting its offer to pay $220 million for the arena, replacing money from the state.

Walker says that idea was never brought forward during 18 months of negotiations related to the proposed $800 million casino and entertainment complex.
