Since , poverty rates have changed little for Native Americans, Kindt reported. Kindt, Illinois professor of business and legal policy , called requests by tribes to set up casinos outside of their home states in testimony before the House Resources Committee. Jackson told the House panel that the casino complex, which would include an room hotel, restaurants and a sports complex, would be an economic development tool for the depressed south suburbs, creating 5, jobs. Kindt recommended that Congress set up a federally administered "gambling proceeds trust fund. The Ho-Chunk bid at Lynwood, Kindt said in an interview, was aimed at locating a gambling site near a major population center. At the Fort Mojave Indian Reservation, the unemployment rate climbed from 27 percent in to 74 percent in , despite the establishment of two casinos.

Business professor John W. One reason for the persistently high unemployment rates, he said, is that non-Indians hold three of four jobs in tribal casinos. Kindt said a Lynwood casino would have the opposite effect, and neighboring communities would lose thousands of jobs over time from the transfer of local dollars spent on gambling to out-of-state interests.

The Ho-Chunks currently run three casinos and a bingo center in Wisconsin. Kindt, in testimony before a House Resources Committee, denounced efforts by some Indian tribes to acquire land for casinos acoss state lines. Jesse Jackson Jr. A proposal for a casino in Lynwood, a suburb south of Chicago, was unveiled last year by U. Kindt said congressional approval of off-reservation gambling by the Ho-Chunks would open the door for other tribes to operate casinos in any state where gaming is allowed. The Illinois professor also cited statistics that the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act - which gave tribes the right to own and run casinos - has done nothing to increase job prospects for most native Americans. Construction of the casino hinges on the Ho-Chunks winning congressional approval to establish reservation trust status for acres near Stoney Island Avenue.
