Reporters Press the Mayor for Casino Answers

By Eileen Buckley

Buffalo, NY – Reporters pressed Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown about the Seneca Nation of Indians plans to build a temporary downtown casino. Over the weekend, the Seneca Nation Tribal Council approved plans to construct a temporary casino.

Seneca president Barry Snyder says negotiations with the city for a large scale casino have ended. The Seneca's will begin constructing a five-thousand square foot casino.

The Seneca Nation hit an impasse when the City refused to sell Fulton Street. Mayor Brown says the Seneca's failed to agree a legally binding agreement.
