The Menominee Nation met with Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) on Wednesday to make one last push for its off-reservation casino. Chairman Craig Corn said the tribe has met Walker's criteria for the $800 million casino in Kenosha. But two tribes -- the Forest County Potawatomi Tribe and the Ho-Chunk Nation -- remain opposed so that could kill the project. Walker is expected to announce a decision tomorrow. Get the Story:
