North Dakota governor opposes more gaming

Monday, June 22, 2009  

North Dakota Gov. John Hoeven (R) won't be supporting off-reservation gaming, a spokesperson said.

Hoeven's support will be needed if the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians wants approval for a casino in Grand Forks. But it doesn't look like the governor has changed his mind on the project, two years after it was first proposed.

Some officials in Grand Forks welcome the casino. But they are wary of pushing their views on Hoeven.

Other tribes in the state have voiced opposition to the proposal.
