"Today's court decision represents a major step forward in the effort to finally begin construction of a world-class casino resort in the Catskills that will bring significant economic benefits to the people of the state of New York, the residents of Sullivan County and the members of the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe.
"The Appellate Division of the New York Supreme Court, in a unanimous decision, spoke clearly and without ambiguity: The 2001 legislation authorizing six new Native American casinos in New York State, including three in the Catskills, is consistent with the New York Constitution as well as state and federal law. We could not be more pleased with the court's ruling."
