UNITED STATES: Legislators propose $15 million cut to Wisconsin tribes

While tribal leaders claim that the proposal comes as unfair retribution for previous disagreements over gaming compacts, officials insist that it is merely one of many budget cuts meant to trim the state’s $3.2 billion deficit.
