Voters in Oregon easily reject non-Indian casino project on ballot


Voters in Oregon easily rejected Measure 75, which would have authorized a non-Indian casino.

According to unofficial results, nearly 68 percent of voters said no to the casino. Only 32 percent said yes.

Tribes opposed the project. The Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde spent $442,000 against it while the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians contributed $93,000 and the Oregon Tribal Gaming Alliance gave $44,102.

Clairvest Investment Group Inc., a Canadian firm, spent $2 million on the campaign.
