[QUOTE="tikkalover, post: 159734, member: 600"] Casino Debate A re state-owed casino's a possibility in North Dakota? Some lawmakers are saying the proposal is in retaliation, and risks angering American Indian tribes even more when relations have already been rubbed raw by the Dakota Access pipeline dispute. Republican Majority Leader Al Carlson says his idea is not "anti-American Indian." He says it would establish casinos as "destination-oriented attractions" and use profits from them to offset state taxes. Many lawmakers believe the measure has little chance of passing, but they fear it's further damaged the state's relationship with its tribes. Carlson's resolution is a proposed constitutional amendment that would go to voters if lawmakers give the OK. It does not need the governor's approval, but Governor Doug Burgum says he opposes the idea. [/QUOTE]
