OMAHA, Neb. - Nebraska’s governor is voicing concerns about a proposed casino in Iowa on land near the Nebraska-Iowa border.

Gov. Dave Heineman has sent a letter to the Secretary of the Interior opposing the plan.

Nebraska doesn’t allow casino gambling, but Iowa does. The rub is that an American Indian tribe has received permission from the National Indian Gaming Commission to run a casino at Carter Lake, Iowa.

Carter Lake is on the Nebraska side of the Missouri River, just northeast of downtown Omaha.

Heineman said in his letter that the city of Omaha would be charged with providing the necessary infrastructure for the project. He also said a casino will exacerbate the social ills associated with problem gambling.
