Republican lawmakers in Michigan might be ready to give up the fight against a gaming compact with the Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish Band of
Pottawatomi Indians.
The tribe and Gov. Jennifer Granholm (D) signed the compact last summer. It calls for the tribe to share up to 12 percent of gaming revenues with the state and up to 2 percent with local governments.
So far, Republican leaders have refused to bring the compact up for a vote. But now that the D.C.
Circuit Court of Appeals rejected a legal challenge to the tribe's casino, they are re-evaluating their stance.
