Legislation
Detroit mayor to testify against tribal casinos
Tuesday, February 5, 2008
Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick
will testify against legislation to authorize two off-reservation casinos.
Kilpatrick, who is embroiled in a potential perjury scandal, is one of several witnesses who oppose
H.R. 2176
and
H.R. 4115
. The bills settle land claims for the
Bay Mills Indian Community
and the
Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians
by allowing them to engage in gaming at sites in Port Huron and Romulus.
Detroit is home to three commercial casinos, including one that is majority owned by the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe. Port Huron is about 63 miles away, while Romulus is about 23 miles away. Critics are worried about the impact on the Detroit casinos.
The
hearing
before the
House Natural Resources Committee
takes place Wednesday.
