Menominee Sues Interior over Off-Reservation Gaming
Here’s the news article, via Penchanga, with an excerpt:
The Menominee Nation has filed a lawsuit that seeks to overturn the U.S. Department of the Interior’s decision to block the tribe from building a casino at Dairyland Greyhound Park.
The tribe filed the suit in the U.S. District Court in Green Bay on Friday against the U.S. Department of the Interior and Kenneth Salazar, current secretary of that department. The lawsuit asks the court to declare a January 2009 denial of the Menominee’s land-into-trust application to create a casino at Dairyland as invalid and unlawful and to overturn that decision.
