Menominee tribe sues Fed for denying Kenosha casino

May 18, 2009

The Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin has filed a lawsuit in U.S.
District Court seeking to overturn a decision by the U.S. Department of Interior to reject the tribe’s plans for a casino at Kenosha's Dairyland Greyhound Park. The tribe contends the Interior Department acted unlawfully in the final months of the Bush administration when it denied their application to take the land into federal trust.

The Menominee tribe has spent the past 6 years pushing its plans for a $1 billion casino at the financially weak dog track.

The tribe has financial backing from the Mohegan Tribe of Connecticut and support from the City of Kenosha and Kenosha County, but it has strong opposition from the Forest County Potawatomi tribe that wants to protect the profitability of its casino in Milwaukee.
