The Seneca Nation and New York State continue to negotiate a new casino gaming compact.
In December 2023, as the compact was set to expire, the two sides reached an agreement on a short-term extension. In the agreement, the state said it would automatically renew the short-term extension unless one of the parties decides not to renew it or a new gaming compact was agreed upon. The two sides have been unable to reach an agreement on a new compact.
I caught up with Seneca Nation President J.C. Seneca Friday to find out where he stands on a future compact deal.
He told me he’s working to resume casino gaming compact talks with Governor Kathy Hochul.
