Opponents of a proposed Indian casino
Opponents of a proposed Indian casino at the site of a cardroom in the Bay Area city of San Pablo are lobbying Gov. Davis to halt the project. Legislation carried by Rep. George Miller (D-Martinez) allows the Lytton Band of Pomo Indians to add the 10-acre cardroom site along Interstate-80 to their reservation.
The Lytton Band, which is based 70 miles away in Sonoma County, is negotiating with the governor’s office in hopes of bringing full-scale gambling to the Bay Area. Owners of existing cardrooms and a number of local government officials are hoping to block the casino.
