Wisconsin Republicans want final say on compacts

printer friendly

Wisconsin Republicans are pushing for a vote on a bill that would give the Legislature final say on tribal-state compacts.

Republican lawmakers were behind a successful court challenge to the first compact Gov. Jim Doyle (D) signed. They claim they can get a better deal out of the tribes.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled last week that Doyle overstepped his authority, threatening an estimated $207 million in revenues tribes were to share with the state.
