Concerns are being raised by some local lawmakers about a proposed new gaming compact for the Seneca Nation.
It is related to speculation about a push for a potential casino in the city of Rochester.
As state lawmakers wrapped up most of their work for the current legislative session over the weekend, one of the pieces of unfinished business has to do with a bill that would allow the governor’s office to negotiate a new gaming compact with the Senecas.
The NY State Senate approved moving forward, but local Democratic member Jeremy Cooney was the only ‘no’ vote. He said he just doesn’t have enough details yet.
