Holdout Tribe to Share Slot Cash.(Final)

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.
In connection with the lesser, $25 million settlement amount, Madrid stressed that the Mescaleros face growing gambling competition in southern New Mexico from non-Indian horse track and casino operations. Tribes in New Mexico have agreed to pay revenue sharing in exchange for limited gambling competition.
Madrid's staff on Monday also met for another round of negotiations with the only other nonpaying tribe, Pojoaque Pueblo.
