Poll: Minnesotans want tribes to share revenues


A new poll shows that a majority of Minnesotans don't want more casinos but want tribes to share gaming revenues.

Gov. Tim Pawlenty (R) is demanding 25 percent from tribes. Of 625 registered voters, 53 percent agreed with Pawlenty while 42 percent disagreed.

When asked about the current situation of gaming, only 18 percent said things should stay as they are while 32 percent said non-Indian casinos should be allowed. The rest, 42 percent, said tribes should continue to have exclusive rights to gaming but only if they share revenues.
