HTN: Casino Opponents File Another Suit

A third lawsuit has been filed in the effort to stop the Seneca Nation of Indians from operating a casino in downtown Buffalo. Citizens Against Casino Gambling in Erie County hope this is the final legal action that they will need to take to end loopholes which allowed the approval of the casino. The suit asks a federal judge to overturn his decision which deemed the property near the Cobblestone District as sovereign Seneca soil. The Senecas began constructing the 333-million dollar facility but stopped last summer due to the economic recession.
