The state of Wisconsin is seeking at least 7 percent of net revenues from a proposed Menominee Nation casino.
The off-reservation casino has been in the works for several years. But recent developments involving compacts and revenue-sharing have pressured the state to ask the tribe for more money.
Administration Secretary Marc Marotta, who negotiates tribal compacts, says the state should get at least 7 percent. Assembly Speaker John Gard, a Republican, demands 25 percent of net revenues.
Republicans were behind a successful court challenge to compacts Gov. Jim Doyle (D) signed with the tribes. Among other complaints, they said the tribes weren't paying enough.
