A poll commissioned by the city of La Center, Washington, finds that two-thirds of residents oppose the Cowlitz Tribe's proposed casino.
But fewer residents, only 40 percent, said the city should spend money to fight the plan. The tribe is seeking approval to acquire 152 acres for an initial reservation.
The tribe qualified for a Section 20 exception under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act because it is newly recognized as of 2000. The tribe has no land base.
