Huron Nottawaseppi Purchased Management Contract of Firekeepers Casino

March 31, 2012Kate Fort

From the Battle Creek Enquirer:

As of Friday, FireKeepers Casino’s owners have taken over its day-to-day operations — more than four years sooner than planned.

The Nottawaseppi Huron Band of the Potawatomi today announced that it had closed on the $97 million purchase of the casino’s management contract with Full House Resorts Inc.

The contract buyout is part of a $385 million refinancing package that will be used to pay outstanding bonds and loans for development and operation of the casino’s new hotel and events center, according to a statement from the tribe.

***

The refinancing deal was carried out with Bank of America Merrill Lynch, whose managing director, Jeff Carey, was credited in the statement with creating a refinancing model that “was very complementary and conducive for a Native American owned and operated gaming business.”

WSJ on the Grand Canyon Controversy

March 24, 2012Matthew L.M. Fletcher1 Comment

Here. Or just go to Google news and enter “hualapai grand canyon”.

An excerpt:

The legal battle is testing the limits of business partnerships between tribes and non-Indians and is pitting tribal government leaders against one another. At stake are future profits of the lucrative Skywalk and at least $10 million in profits that the bridge has accumulated—now locked in an escrow account while the tribe fights with Mr. Jin.

“Our business is being destroyed by a handful of self-interested [tribal] government officials who are stealing our business and trampling our rights” said Troy Eid, a lawyer for Mr. Jin and former U.S. attorney for Colorado.

The tribe argues that it is Mr. Jin who “makes a promise, breaks it, then changes his story,” said Paul Charlton, the tribe’s lawyer and former U.S. attorney in Arizona.
