A five-year-long standoff between the state of Wisconsin and the Lac du Flambeau Chippewa band ended last month when the tribe agreed to pay $3.7 million in back payments to the state as part of a new compact. Under the new compact the tribe will pay the state $738,000 each year for two years and then pay $500,000 each year for the next 10 years.
