New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) puts pressure on Seneca Nation to resolve gaming dispute:
After months of talking, Governor Cuomo has finally released his proposal for expanding casino gambling, with hundreds of pages of legal sections.

The governor is hoping to have legislators approve the bill before they head home for the summer. It's a wide-ranging plan with something for everyone and little for some areas.

The proposed legislation gives exclusivity to Mohawk and Oneida Indian casinos while giving the Seneca Nation the stark choice of cutting a deal with Albany or seeing more casinos near nation gambling operations.
