Gov. Scott Walker on Friday denied a request by the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin for permission to build an off-reservation casino in Kenosha.

The Menominee have been pushing for a casino at Kenosha’s former Dairyland Greyhound Park dog track for years, hoping the facility would lure gamblers from Milwaukee and Chicago and help pull the northeastern Wisconsin tribe out of poverty. The tribe has claimed the project would create more than 10,000 jobs.

The federal government gave the tribe the go-ahead in 2013, leaving the final say to Walker.
