Kenosha mayor says he's disappointed with casino denial
KENOSHA, Wis. (AP) - The Kenosha mayor says he's very disappointed Gov. Scott Walker decided against a request to build a casino there.
Gov. Scott Walker on Friday denied the Menominee Nation's request for permission to build an off-reservation casino in Kenosha, saying it could leave the state owing a rival tribe millions of dollars.
Kenosha Mayor Keith Bosman tells the Kenosha News (http://bit.ly/1wv61kY ) he's frustrated with Walker's denial of the tribal casino at the former Dairyland Greyhound Park.
He said the loss of $800 million in investment and the expected thousands of construction and permanent jobs is a blow to the city.
Bosman said the process has been very frustrating.
