The Northern Arapaho Tribe of Wyoming is trying to convince Senator Mike Enzi (R) not to introduce an appropriations rider that would overturn its recent court victory.

A federal mediator last year said the tribe was entitled to certain forms of Class III gaming. But former Gov. Jim Geringer refused to negotiate a compact, leaving the issue up to Secretary of Interior Gale Norton.

Enzi is considering an amendment that would prevent Norton from signing a compact. Tribal officials met with him yesterday to give him details about their casino project in hopes of preventing him from acting.
