SEPTEMBER 22, 2000

State residents have formed the Wisconsin Coalition Against Gambling Expansion, a group dedicated to opposing various casinos proposed in the state, including several by Ojibwe tribes.

The group says gambling doesn't create wealth and brings a host of social ills along with it. Dick Matty, spokesman for the Lac du Flambeau Band of Chippewa, said the group is making false accusations about bribery and blackmail.

The tribe has proposed an off-reservation casino in various Wisconsin communities. On Thursday, an Outagamie County Board committee voted to endorse the tribe's casino at a location in Kaukauna.
