TOPEKA — Attorney General Kris Kobach said Gov. Laura Kelly was obligated under federal law to negotiate in good faith with the Wyandotte Nation on a compact agreement to allow operation of casino gambling, including sports betting, on tribal land.
Negotiations with the Wyandotte Nation wouldn’t violate state law applicable to operation of four nontribal casinos in Kansas nor would negotiations be inconsistent with compacts with four tribes in the casino business in Kansas, the attorney general said.
