Editorial: California tribe sent packing on urban casino

 printer friendly
"The Koi Nation will have to go shopping elsewhere for a "reservation" on which to build an urban casino.

The Oakland City Council and an unhappy public have sent the tribe packing with its plans to build a 2,000-slot casino near the Oakland International Airport.

Even the tribe's offer to pay the city $30 million a year for 20 years wasn't enough incentive to get the city's support.

Opponents of urban gambling certainly seem to be winning the war against locating such facilities in the Bay Area."
