Opposition to the Seneca Nation off-reservation casino appears to be growing among leaders in Buffalo, New York.
Three common council members support litigation on the issue and two others are keeping an open mind, The Buffalo News reported.
The opposition could lead to the city to withdraw from its agreement with the tribe.
"If this was any other developer, we would have had his head," council member Darius G. Pridgen told the paper, referring to the tribe's failure to build a permanent casino in downtown Buffalo.
The tribe opened the Buffalo
Creek Casino in July 2007. Plans for a permanent facility have been held
back due to economic concerns and litigation in federal court has generated concerns.
