Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle (D) plans to veto another gaming-related bill making its way through the state Legislature.

An Assembly committee passed, by a 5-4 vote, a bill that would bar Doyle from negotiating casino compacts longer than 15 years without the approval of lawmakers. Republicans are upset that Doyle has already made two new agreements that expand gaming and do not expire. The tribes will contribute more money to the state in exchange.
