Judge dismisses challenge to Cowlitz casino
Thursday, September 25, 2008
A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit that sought to stop the
Cowlitz Tribe
of Washington from building a casino.
Judge Benjamin H. Settle ruled that the city of
Vancouver
lacked standing to sue the
National Indian Gaming Commission
. The agency
approved
the tribe's gaming ordinance in January.
The city claimed its interests would be harmed be harmed by the
Cowlitz Casino Resort
because an agreement the tribe struck with
Clark County
was invalidated in state court. The tribe's ordinance essentially codified the agreement.
The tribe is near the end of the casino approval process. A
final environmental impact statement
recommended the
Bureau of Indian Affairs
take 152 acres in trust for the project.
