BELOIT, Wis. -- Scott McCallum won't approve it, but the Dane County executive seeking his job says she will.
Kathleen Falk said she would sign a deal approving Beloit's tribal casino complex if she was elected, because the proposed deal was done locally, with a referendum and tribal negotiations with local and state government.
The casino complex has been proposed by the Bad River and St. Croix Chippewa bands.
It would have 3,000 slot machines and 75 blackjack tables. The proposal also includes a hotel, theater, convention hall and several restaurants.
Gov. McCallum has repeatedly said he does not support the expansion of gambling in Wisconsin.
Falk is one of four Democrats seeking the party's nomination for governor. Her opponents include U.S. Congressman Tom Barrett, state Sen. Gary George and Attorney General Jim Doyle.
