Residents withdraw opposition to Sycuan Band casino liquor bid

Monday, August 8, 2011  

Neighbors of the Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation will no longer fight the tribe's liquor license.

The state Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control approved an interim license for the Sycuan Casino back in 2009. Residents filed more than 300 protests, citing concerns about traffic and safety.

But after realizing they had little chance of success, the residents withdrew their opposition. The state canceled a hearing that was scheduled for today.
