New details have been released about a proposed casino in the Rochester area.

Assemblymember Harry Bronson attended a meeting with the governor’s office Wednesday night and with Seneca Nation top leaders Thursday morning. During both sessions, the discussion focused on the Seneca Nation of Indians' effort to construct in Monroe County.

“We met with top officials in the office who are knowledgeable regarding the discussions that they have been having with the Senecas,” said Bronson. “We were able to confirm some of the things that had already been leaked.”

The Rochester Majority Delegation also talks about the Seneca Nation’s gaming compact renewal. The Seneca Nation already owns and operates three casinos in Western New York.

“We were able to confirm that the language they’ve been using indeed was the Rochester market, which was defined as Monroe County," said Bronson who is the chair of the delegation. “What does that mean to our families? What does that mean to the gaming industry here? What impact will it have on the existing casinos? And what impact will have on the thousands of workers who are currently working there who are union workers getting good pay with benefits?”

The other concern comes from location, specifically if a casino is placed in the city of Rochester.

“If it is in the city or close to the city, will it have an adverse impact on some of our neighborhoods who are already struggling?” said Bronson. “We have a high level of poverty in the city of Rochester and when you have — I’ll use of phrase of my colleagues — when you have poverty, a sense of hopelessness, and gaming all together, that's a formula for disaster.”

Bronson was also part of a meeting with the highest-level members of the Seneca Nation of Indians.

"It was an exchange of information about the interest that we're trying to protect and be a voice for,” he said.

Last week, the Seneca Nation announced it reached an agreement in principle with the state on a new 20-year gaming compact. The state Senate approved a bill giving the governor authority to finish the deal.

“In the Assembly, we didn't take a vote,” said Bronson. “Thankfully, I learned of the issue of a potential casino, consulted with my colleagues in the Assembly, and we approached the speaker and asked him to put a pause on this. We need to get more information and we need the input of our families in the Monroe County area…I don't think we're going to get sufficient information to take up a vote next Tuesday or Wednesday when we’re in session. So it's my full expectation we'll do it sometime later this year.”

Bronson says if there is a vote for the compact next week, for him at this point, it’s a hard no.
