Walker Dodges Casino Discussion At Kenosha Event
Area Officials And Menominee Tribe Continue To Push Issue

Gov. Scott Walker was in Kenosha Tuesday for a jobs announcement, but he declined to meet with local elected officials to talk about the jobs they wanted to discuss: The thousands that might have been created by the Menominee Tribe’s proposed casino.

With the deadline approaching, the Menominees marching on Madison and local officials seeking one last chance to bend his ear, Walker avoided questions about casino jobs in Kenosha. But standing on an empty factory floor, he announced that an Illinois company will move in 50 machine jobs to Wisconsin.

Afterward, as Walker was shaking hands and posing for photos, Kenosha Democrat Rep. Peter Barca was blasting him for refusing to meet.

"I would certainly think that he could have carved out 10 minutes," Barca said.

When it was his turn, Walker made clear that he’s done talking about it, saying, "Why meet about something that’s already been resolved?"..................

MADISON – Members of the Menominee Nation have made it to the state Capitol in Madison.

Some members of the tribe walked more than 150 miles from Keshena to protest Gov. Scott Walker’s decision to reject a proposed casino in Kenosha. They started their march on Friday and arrived in Madison Tuesday.

Other tribal members rode buses to Madison on Wednesday. They marched from the Library Mall area of the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus, down State St. to the state Capitol.

Leaders want to meet with Walker to talk about the casino project, but Walker said Tuesday there won’t be a meeting.
