MAY 23, 2001 Three Ojibwe tribes whose off-reservation casino was killed by Wisconsin Governor Scott McCallum last week have filed notice of intent to sue a county where the project would have been located. Should they sue, the Lac Courte Oreilles, Red Cliff and Mole Lake Ojibwe bands would allege St. Croix County officials violated a 1994 agreement. That agreement prohibited officials from saying they opposed the casino. But the board passed a resolution in January saying they did not support it, not necessarily that they opposed it. The tribes are suing the Department of Interior for alleged violations of gaming law. They say McCallum shouldn't be allowed to veto their casino, which the Bureau of Indian Affairs approved in February. Get the Story:
