A convicted felon who is nearing re-election as chairman of the White Earth Ojibwe Tribe of Minnesota says he doesn't' support an urban casino.
Darrell "Chip'' Wadena told The St. Paul Pioneer Press that the tribe should focus on its reservation casino. But that facility hasn't generated significant revenues.
The current tribal chairman, Doyle Turner, has been lobbying state lawmakers to authorize the urban casino. He placed third in the tribe's primary election. Wadena took the most votes and will face Erma Vizeno in the June 8 general election.
