Support for casino competition runs 3-to-1

An online poll by the Kenosha News shows rock-solid support for the proposed Menominee casino – and the competition it would bring to Southeast Wisconsin’s gaming market. More than 75 percent of respondents – three of every four – said they support the Menominee entertainment center, which would offer the Forest County Potawatomi their first taste of competition since opening their off-reservation Milwaukee casino nearly two decades ago.

The poll ended July 16. Here’s the final tally:

Do you think the proposed Kenosha casino will sufficiently benefit the Menominee tribe and not harm the Kenosha community?

Yes. The Menominee Nation has a solid proposal, and the Kenosha community will benefit from it.: 75.5%

No. The proposal will not benefit the Menominee or the Kenosha community.: 17.5%

Not sure. There are still a lot of questions.: 7.0%

Total Votes: 429

Earlier this spring, a poll by the Milwaukee Business Journal also showed overwhelming support for the Kenosha casino. In that poll, 62 percent of respondents said the federal government should approve the project – and bring casino competition to Southeast Wisconsin!
