Wisconsin claims Ho-Chunk Nation owes $100M
Tuesday, July 1, 2008  

7th circuit

supreme court
wisconsin
The state of Wisconsin says the Ho-Chunk Nation owes $100 million under a disputed Class III gaming compact.

The 2003 compact authorized additional Class III games in exchange for a share of the revenues.. But the tribe says it never installed more games due to litigation involving another tribe.

The state claims the Ho-Chunks must share revenues regardless and went to court to compel arbitration. On January 14, the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled the tribe waived its sovereign immunity.

A federal court has yet to determine how arbitration should proceed. Meanwhile, the tribe is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn the 7th Circuit ruling in Ho-Chunk Nation v. Wisconsin.
