MADISON - Federal officials have until Friday to approve a deal that calls for the state to ensure the Forest County Potawatomi are reimbursed for any losses tied to a new Kenosha casino.
Gov. Scott Walker has until Feb. 19 to approve or deny the Menominee Nation's request to build a new off-reservation casino in Kenosha. The Potawatomi, however, operates its own lucrative casino in Milwaukee and its gaming compact requires the state to reimburse them for losses linked to a Kenosha facility. Walker's administration has warned that could cost the state millions.
