jlawson@kenoshanews.com While local business and political leaders are hopeful the proposed $808 million Kenosha casino and entertainment center will help create more jobs for the community at large, the initial impact may be a boom to the convention and tourist industry. The federal Bureau of Indian Affairs approved the Menominee Nations project on Friday. It now awaits approval from Gov. Scott Walker, who has said he wants to promote the development of new jobs.
State Rep. Samantha Kerkman, R-Powers Lake, expects to meet with the governor later this week to share feedback from constituents and supporters. Meanwhile, others from the Kenosha area are expected to commence lobbying efforts in the Capitol today. The casino and entertainment center project calls for the development of 3,300 casino jobs and 1,400 construction jobs. It will be a shot in the arm for the economy, said state Sen. Robert Wirch, D-Somers. It clearly will help businesses over a period of time.

Wirch noted that the expected construction jobs will last over a substantial period of time. The casino jobs are family supporting jobs, he said. People will have more to spend in the community, Wirch said.
restaurants more than 10,000 underground and surface parking spots. Importantly, it also calls for a 400-room luxury hotel and convention center capable of accommodating larger conventions. It will denitely have an impact on tourism, said Dennis DuChene, president of the Kenosha Area Convention and Visitors Bureau. It will diversify our tourist options. The conference center will be a big addition to our city. While business and political ofcials are hard pressed to estimate the number of new
jobs or businesses that may be launched in the area, they believe the rst spurt in business development may come from the service industry such as restaurants, vendors and suppliers to the casino. Its hard to say how much, but there is the potential for other businesses to thrive, said Lou Molitor, executive director of the Kenosha Area Chamber of Commerce.

WASHINGTON Secretary of State John Kerry on Monday outlined the clearest justication yet for U.S. military action in Syria, saying there was undeniable evidence of a largescale chemical weapons attack, with intelligence strongly signaling that Bashar Assads regime was responsible.

The international community appeared to be considering action that would punish Assad for deploying deadly gases, not sweeping measures aimed at ousting the Syrian leader or strengthening rebel forces.

We continue to believe that theres no military solution here thats good for the Syrian people, and that the best path forward is a political solution, State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said. This is about the violation of an international norm against the use of chemical weapons.

With the nal approval of the Kenosha casino now up to Gov. Scott Walker, what would you say if you had a chance to discuss the issue with the governor? Heres a look at what Kenosha News Facebook followers had to say Monday. Milton Smith: If he is concerned about jobs and growth, its a no-brainer. Just get it done. Doug Williams: Walker needs to quit playing games and bring jobs to Kenosha! Larry A. Harding: Youd better change your tune about requiring that every tribe approve our casino, or youll never win in this area of the state ever again. Jeffery Cain: He needs to not worry about the other casinos in this state, but worry more about those near the line in Illinois taking Wisconsin folks to Waukegan, etc. Carol Istvanek: Current job opportunities through Ho Chunk casino $7 and $9 per hour, and a human resource job for $14 per hour. Hey... enjoy those jobs you wanted! Good luck. Joyce Slatner: Time to leave politics behind. Dairyland helped my daughter pay for college. She parked cars during summers and weekends. We need jobs in this area. Erica Schaefer: We need jobs... you need money. End of story. Dino Marchesini: Approve it. We need the jobs and the development that will come with it. The citys agreement with the tribe is very good and it was voted on twice by the community. The Potawatomi Tribe and Mayor (Tom) Barretts opinion should have no bearing on Kenosha. If they are running a good business, they shouldnt be worried about competition. I didnt know Wisconsin is open for business excluded Kenosha. Allan Beckmann: I
