Holcomb’s Completes Ceremonial Signing of Bill that Ratifies the Pokagon Band’s Class III Gaming Compact, continued page one Having a Class III Gaming Compact with Indiana will enable us to operate our South Bend casino, Four Wind South Bend, in a similar manner as our three other Four Winds Casinos in Michigan and the commercial casinos in Indiana. Additional revenue generated from Four Winds South Bend will support essential programs and services for not only our nearly 6,000 Tribal Citizens and other Native Americans living in the region, but also Indiana residents. We appreciate the willingness of Governor Eric J. Holcomb and Sara Gonso Tait, Executive Director of the Indiana Gaming Commission, to negotiate the Compact in a timely and cooperative manner, and the efforts of Senator Ryan Mishler, Senator David Niezgodski, Senator Linda Rodgers, Senator Jon Ford, and Representative Dr. Tim Brown. We would also like to thank the Indiana General Assembly for their approval. This process has demonstrated the value of the ongoing government- to-government relationship between the State of Indiana and Pokagon Band. We look forward to the U.S. Department of the Interior’s review of the Compact, and hopefully approval in the near future. MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY 1 2 3 4
