Mescaleros, AG Cut $25 Million Deal
If New Mexico Attorney General Patricia Madrid gets her wish, a years-long legal fight over Indian casino revenue-sharing soon will be history.
She got half her wish Tuesday, when the Mescalero Apache Tribe -- one of the two tribes she was suing for refusing to pay a portion of its slot-machine proceeds to the state -- signed a deal to settle its part of the case for $25 million.
Madrid estimated that the amount the Mescaleros owed in back payments might be at least $30 million.
