Michigan Public Radio on Michigan v. Bay Mills Indian Community, a gaming case involving the Bay Mills Indian Community that will be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court:
At issue is a casino the Bay Mills Indian tribe built and opened in the town of Vanderbilt. The tribe used money from a land settlement to buy the property. Tribal leaders say the new property is part of the tribe’s sovereign territory. The question here is whether Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette even has standing to sue the tribe. Schuette says he needs that authority so Michigan has some control over the proliferation of casinos within its borders.Get the Story:
