From B.W.:
The opening of a casino in northern Michigan this week by the Bay Mills Indian Community is raising legal questions over where tribes are allowed to open new gaming locations.
Joy Yearout, a spokeswoman for Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox, said state officials will meet with Bay Mills officials next week to discuss the new casino in Vanderbilt.
Gov. Jennifer Granholm’s administration is “deeply concerned” about the casino opening, spokeswoman Liz Boyd said, in part because it isn’t on the tribe’s reservation.
“There are substantial questions about whether the tribe in fact can legally conduct gaming on this property,” Boyd said in an e-mail to The Associated Press. “We are dismayed that the tribe would open an off-reservation gaming facility without first resolving these substantial legal issues.”
