Today, Governor Walker says he is continuing to deliberate on all the facts before making his decision on the proposal from the Menominee Tribe and Hard Rock International to build a destination resort and casino in Kenosha. We respect the governor’s decision and we are grateful for his leadership on this matter.
From the very beginning of this long process, we have sought to help everyone understand how important this project will be to the people of the Menominee Tribe, as well as those living in Kenosha. We seek to help our members be lifted out of poverty and have the opportunity to build a better life for themselves. In the process we will create jobs and strengthen the local economy while attracting tourists and other visitors to our state.
We look forward to continuing our work with Governor Walker, Secretary Mike Huebsch and their team while forthrightly answering all of their questions. We remain confident that we will help everyone understand how the Menominee Hard Rock Casino in Kenosha is a WIN for the tribe, a WIN for Kenosha and a WIN for the State of Wisconsin.
