New York (Indian gaming) - Scott Rapp - Thanks, but no thanks. That's the message Gov. George Pataki has apparently sent to the Seneca-Cayuga Tribe of Oklahoma, which is trying to build a $25 million bingo hall in Aurelius. In mid-November, LeRoy Howard, chief of the Seneca-Cayugas, asked to meet with the governor to begin negotiations for opening a Class III casino, possibly in the Catskills, to settle its share of the Cayuga Indian land claim. This week, Howard said he recently received a tersely written reply from Pataki's staff. "They said he doesn't have the time and hopes we understand," Howard said Wednesday.
