Members of an Upper Peninsula Native American tribe may vote in the next few months on a proposal to build a casino in Lansing.
The vote could upend the controversial casino project in Michigan’s capitol city.
The leaders of the Sault Ste Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians announced their plans to build a $245 million casino in downtown Lansing in January.
The proposal immediately drew opposition from the governor, state attorney general and other Native American tribes that already operate casinos within easy driving distance of Lansing.
