Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty's plan for two casinos in the Twin Cities met another snag on Tuesday when Senate Minority Leader Dick Day, a fellow Republican, said he would not support a state-tribal casino at the proposed site.

Day has long backed a bill to add slot machines to the Canterbury Park racetrack. But he said he doesn't want the proposal hindered by a state-tribal casino at the track site.

Pawlenty initially supported a state-tribal casino but merged it with the Canterbury Park plan. The new deal is facing a tough fight in the Legislature.
