Slot Cash For Claims May 12, 2003
Besides moving the Catskills casino plan forward, the proposed agreement would provide the Mohawks with $100 million to buy land and two islands in the St. Lawrence River. It would require the tribe to share with the state 20 to 25 percent of profits from slot machines and reduce the disparity in retail prices between non-Indian merchants and the tribe, which sells cigarettes and other tax-free products on the reservation.
The tribe's partner in the Catskills is Park Place Entertainment, the Las Vegas-based gaming company with $4.7 billion in 2002 net revenue and 27 casino resorts.
The Mohawks plan a 750-room hotel, a casino with 165,000 square feet of gaming space, 15,000 square feet of meeting space, and retail shops, said Robert Stewart, senior vice president of communications for Park Place Entertainment.
A seven-year agreement signed in November 2001 calls for the Mohawks to receive 70 percent of casino profits and Park Place Entertainment to get 30 percent, Stewart said
Revitalizing Region
The casino would rise next to Kutsher's, a hotel built during the Catskills' heyday as a summer playground for New Yorkers. A casino may help revitalize the region, said Fuller.
``The area needs a draw to bring people back in,'' Fuller said. ``A casino could be that type of an engine, but only if it's done well.''
Other Indian tribes proposing Catskills casinos include the Cayugas, who envision a $500 million, 600,000-square-foot facility at Monticello Raceway. The Stockbridge-Munsee Indians of Wisconsin are working with developer Trading Cove for permission to build a casino in the area.
The Oneidas, who run Turning Stone Casino near Syracuse, also have expressed interest in a Catskills casino. They have made no formal proposal.
For the Catskills casino to open, Mohawks would have to approve the deal in a referendum that may be held next month. Pataki and the Mohawks would have to adopt a compact. The U.S. Department of Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs must approve the Mohawks' proposal to place the land in Sullivan County into trust for the tribe. The National Indian Gaming Commission would have to approve the management agreement, said Park Place's Stewart. State lawmakers and Congress must pass legislation implementing the land claims settlement.
The proposed settlement would end a lawsuit brought in 1982 by three
groups of Mohawks living on the reservation seeking cash and the return
of 15,000 to 17,000 acres in Franklin and St. Lawrence counties. The Mohawks
contend the land was taken illegally in the early 1800s.
