Potawatomi Tribe appeals Waukegan casino selection ruling in Illinois
The Potawatomi Indian Tribe has asked the US Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit to overturn a ruling in Waukegan, Illinois, that rejected its claim of discrimination in the casino selection process. The tribe alleges the mayor influenced council members to favour three competing proposals; a district judge previously found insufficient evidence to support the claim.
The appeal challenges Waukegan’s casino selection outcome, with the tribe alleging influence over competing proposals.
