"Clark County commissioners have posed an interesting question in a letter to the Bureau of
Indian Affairs, essentially: If the commissioners do not agree to a memorandum of understanding with the Cowlitz Tribe, will that kill the proposed tribal casino on Interstate 5 near La Center?
Commissioner Marc Boldt says the answer will probably be a variation of “Maybe.” But it doesn’t hurt to ask. Who knows? Some milestone clarification might waft down from the BIA tower.
So, if and when the BIA’s “maybe” is heard, county commissioners should go back to basics, follow their own advice, refuse to negotiate an MOU and instead of dithering, work aggressively to block the casino application."
