Monroe tribe eyes sovereignty and casino pact on Corridor 75
Monroe officials and tribal leaders discuss a draft city tribe agreement to allow a sovereign nation casino on land held in federal trust. The plan proposes 2 percent of net revenues as mitigation payments, a 10 year life, and a committee to oversee road and public safety impacts as traffic forecasts envision 2009 completion of a major I 75 interchange upgrade.

Middletown to still gain revenue if casino lands elsewhere
A draft pact between Monroe and the Eastern Shawnee of Oklahoma would levy 2 percent of the casino’s gaming revenues to local governments, with 10 percent of that to Middletown for 10 years. Monroe officials estimate 2 percent could total $8–$9 million annually, plus $1.5 million in income tax from 3,000 projected jobs, though officials stress figures are unconfirmed.

Monroe Oklahoma draft seeks 2 percent mitigation on gaming revenue
The draft intergovernmental agreement outlines the Eastern Shawnee of Oklahoma paying Monroe 2 percent of net gaming machine revenues as a mitigation payment, with Middletown getting 10 percent of that share for a decade. The plan allows reviewing the tribe’s books and provides for disputes via arbitration or federal courts over sovereign immunity.
