The Bay Mills Indian Community in Michigan is once again seeking Congressional approval for an off-reservation casino.
The tribe wants to settle its land claim at Charlotte Beach for gaming rights at Port Huron. But the proposal ran into opposition from the Bureau of Indian Affairs, some members of Congress and some Michigan tribes.
Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nevada), the new Senate majority leader, has since dropped his objections, according to the casino developer. That has Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Michigan) renewing her support for legislation to approve the project.
