the Menominee Tribe a license to build a casino

"The
casino would be built at the Dairyland Greyhound
Park and cost $808 million if the proposal makes

Doyle would receive the proposal after the November

"…Doyle

Connecticut based Mohegan tribe and its casino,
the Mohegan Sun, which is partners with Troha
for the proposed Kenosha casino, according to
the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel…"
