Lansing city council members are expressing growing frustration at not getting the information they want about a proposed Indian casino project.
The Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians wants to build a $245 million casino in the capitol city. The casino would be built adjacent to the city's downtown convention center. The city council’s approval of the deal is necessary before the tribe can ask the federal government to place the land in trust.
But again last night the council had difficulty getting answers to questions about the developers’ contract with the tribe and other issues.
