The Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin is hoping that a controversial report siding with the tribeâ??s plan to open a grandiose $808 million off-reservation casino and entertainment complex at Dairyland Greyhound Park in Kenosha will help push the federal government to approve the proposal.
The $50,000 report, funded entirely by the tribe, has at least one Kenosha-area lawmaker and longtime Kenosha casino opponent, the Forest County Potawatomi Community, raising questions about the reportâ??s validity. The controversy is heightened by the fact that the study came out of the University of Wisconsin-Madisonâ??s La Follette School of Public Affairs, which is known as an objective institution.
