KENOSHA, Wis. (AP) – The developer of the Menominee Nation’s proposed Kenosha casino says they’ve met every challenge confronting the project – and then some.
Hard Rock International chairman Jim Allen says Gov. Scott Walker’s decision against the casino is “terribly sad news” for the nearly 9,000 Menominee tribal members.
Hard Rock would have financed and managed the Menominee casino complex. Hard Rock International is owned by the Seminole Tribe of Florida. It expected to make more than $200 million over seven years as manager and developer of the casino.
