Two tribes talk with Cleveland mayor about casino

Representatives of two tribes met with Cleveland, Ohio, Mayor Jane Campbell to discuss an off-reservation casino.

A consultant for the Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma said a casino in Cleveland could be a viable alternative to a statewide gaming referendum Campbell is proposing. The city is in need of cash and the tribe is looking at sites throughout Ohio for a casino.

Campbell also met with representatives of another tribe, identified only as "Wyandot," which could mean the Wyandotte Nation of Oklahoma. The tribe has tried to open a casino in Kansas.
