Supreme Court delays W. Mich. tribe's plans
Comments 0 | Recommend 0ALLEGAN COUNTY, Mich. (NEWSCHANNEL 3) - The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court has dealt a blow to the West Michigan tribe trying to build a casino near Wayland.
Justice John Roberts has denied the tribe's request to vacate a stay issued by a Washington DC circuit court. That court said that the tribe would have to wait until after the Supreme Court hears the latest challenge from the anti-gambling group MichGO.
Many speculate that Roberts' decision is an indication that the court will hear that challenge, but that may not happen until sometime in 2009. So, for now, the Gun Lake Tribe has to wait and cannot start construction on the casino in Allegan County.
