TUESDAY, JANUARY 8, 2002 The city council of Florence has asked the state of Oregon to challenge a land-into-trust decision the Department of Interior approved for the Confederated Coos Tribes. The tribes would use 100 acres of land for gaming purposes, which the city says it doesn't necessarily oppose. The city wants to resolve legal uncertainties, said a council member. The Interior considered the approval a restoration of tribal lands because the tribes' land base was reduced over the years. Get the Story:
