The Fond du Lac Band of Lake
Superior Chippewa Indians has filed a counter-claim in a lawsuit over a revenue-sharing agreement with the city of Duluth, Minnesota.
The tribe has been sharing 19 percent of gross slot machine revenues from the Fond-du-Luth
Casino for the last 25 years. Now it wants all $75.5 million back.
"The legal paperwork speaks for itself," Chairwoman Karen Diver told The Duluth News Tribune.
The tribe says the revenue-sharing agreement violates the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act and cannot be enforced.
