MAY 23, 2000 Two city employees from Topeka were fired after they were found to be at the Prairie Band Potawatomi Casino during work hours. The Topeka Police Department approached the Kansas Tribal Gaming Comission who in turn approached the Potawatomi Tribe for the information. The Tribe monitored the use of the Public employees' Gold Cards, or frequent gaming cards, to track the employees' presence at the Casino. The Kansas Association of Public Employees has asked the Attorney General to investigate this matter. A similar incident occured in Connecticut, over a town official's visits to the Mohegan Sun casino. Get the Story:
