Minnesota Indian Gaming Association off to State Capitol

Tuesday, April 26, 2011

The Minnesota Indian Gaming Association is holding a rally this afternoon at the State Capitol.

Tribal leaders, casino employees and their supporters will talk about efforts to expand non-Indian gaming in the state. They say thousands of employees could lose their jobs.

"These proposals are job-killers, especially for rural Minnesota," John McCarthy, the group's executive director said.
