The renewal of the Seneca Nation’s gaming compact with New York remains up in the air less than a week before the Democratic-led state Assembly is returning to Albany to consider the legislation.
Though approved last week in the state Senate, final approval over the agreement has been in doubt after Rochester-area lawmakers raised concerns over the potential of a casino being built in the city’s downtown.
No casino has been formally proposed and the language in the gaming compact renewal does not include one. But the prospect of a casino has led to Rochester lawmakers raising deep concerns over the legislation.
