The Saginaw Chippewa Tribe of Michigan is standing by a print advertisement that questions whether a proposal to add slot machines at racetracks will benefit public education.
The tribe ties the issue to the state lottery. The ad says: "You remember the promise...all lottery profits would go to education. But like so many promises, that one was broken."
The racetracks say the ad is misleading because the lottery does benefit public education. The tribe says, initially, that wasn't the case.
The tribe opposes a bill that would legalize the slot machines for the tracks.
