For the second time in the last month, state lawmakers have sent a bill giving them authority over gambling contracts to Gov. Jim Doyle, who has promised a second veto.

Republicans who control the Legislature and the Democratic governor have been locked in a feud since the Oneida Nation announced last month it reached a tentative deal with Doyle on a gaming compact with no expiration date. Current compacts expire after five years.

Republicans grew more incensed when Doyle announced he had signed an amended perpetual compact with the Forest County Potawatomi. Both deals call for higher payments to the state in exchange for expanded casino games and hours.

Doyle is counting on an additional $237 million in tribal gaming revenue to help balance the state's budget. He has said he hopes to strike similar agreements with the state's nine other tribes.

The bill now before Doyle passed 22-8 in the Senate on Thursday and 59-38 in the Assembly on Wednesday. It would require legislative approval for compacts that last longer than 15 years or expand American Indian gaming to off-reservation sites.

The Senate failed to override Doyle's first veto by one vote.

"No matter how many times the legislative leadership wants to vote on an issue that has already been decided, it doesn't get us one step closer to balancing the budget without raising taxes," Doyle said in a statement Thursday. "That is what we should all be focused on."
