The Little River Band of Ottowa Indians in Manistee, Michigan, and the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odowa Indians of Petoskey said that they are withholding payments to the state of Michigan from casino profits.
They apparently have an agreement with the state to pay 8% of their profits to the state, as part of a 1998 agreement, which also offered the Indians an exclusivity agreement with "electronic games of chance". The state now allows a Club Keno game, which the Indians claim violates the agreement and hence they no longer owe the state the 8%. The funds are used by the Michigan Economic Development Corp for stimulating economic and job growth in the state.
Conclusions:
* The Indians are probably technically right
* Governments are incompetetent when it comes to business - why the heck did they give an exclusive agreement in the first place?
* Its not about benefitting the impoverished, underprivileged Indians, its just about getting as much money as you can get.
Well, to all those involved, you are getting what you deserve!
