Topeka ? A task force appointed by Gov. Kathleen Sebelius was unenthusiastic about allowing new Indian casinos in Kansas, but its members agreed on little else in discussing gambling issues Monday.

The task force hopes to forward a few alternatives to Sebelius, who supports new gambling as a way to raise additional money for the state.

The Kickapoo and Sac and Fox tribes, which now have separate casinos in northeast Kansas, have proposed opening a $175 million complex in Wyandotte County, arguing it would create more than 1,500 construction jobs. The Delaware and Wyandotte tribes also have presented proposals to the task force, though the Wyandottes opened a casino in Kansas City, Kan., in August, resulting in a federal lawsuit by the state.

The Kickapoo and Sac and Fox have offered to give the state part of the revenue from their proposed casino in exchange for the exclusive right to have one in the area. However, some task force members said they believe the Kansas City area can support more than one casino, and others noted that current gambling compacts with four tribes don’t give the state a share.

Besides the Kickapoo and Sac and Fox, the Iowa and Prairie Band Potawatomi have separate casinos on tribal land in northeast Kansas. Kansas also has a lottery and permits betting and dog and horse races.

Task force members had differing opinions on how many new casinos should be permitted, whether slots should be allowed at the tracks and whether fraternal organizations should be allowed to have them in lodges as well.

Some members said having the lottery operate a casino would generate more money, more quickly. Others favored permitting slot machines and other electronic gambling devices at dog and horse tracks.
