SANTA FE, N.M., April 20 (UPI) -- The Mescalero Apache Nation will pay $25 million to New Mexico to settle a lawsuit over revenue sharing payments from its gambling casino.
Attorney General Patricia Madrid and Mescalero Apache President Mark Chino said Tuesday the tribe will begin paying 8 percent of its casino revenue to the state. Most of the state's tribes and pueblos have settled with the state.
"This settlement with the Mescalero Apache tribe is good for the state and good for the Mescaleros, and reflects a new atmosphere of successful government-to-government cooperation between us," Madrid state in a statement.
New Mexico tribes and pueblos have paid more than $200 million in settlements to the state since Madrid filed the lawsuit three years over revenue sharing payments.
The state expects to receive about $40 million annually in revenues from gaming operations of 11 tribes and pueblos, Madrid said.
