"Ever wonder why Dennis Troha has made it his No. 1 goal in life to put a mega-casino in his hometown of Kenosha?
Or why his company coughed up nearly a million dollars to push through a referendum supporting the casino?
Or why the trucking magnate and his pals have dropped more than $190,000 in campaign donations to Gov. Jim Doyle?
So many questions, one simple answer:
Eighty-eight million dollars.
Kenesah Gaming Development, a firm solely owned by Troha, stands to rake in at least $88 million in fees as the project's developer during the first seven years of operation if the feds and governor bless plans to turn Dairyland Greyhound Park into an Indian casino, owned by the Menominee tribe."
