Amador County – Friends of Amador County, a local activist group, announced late Thursday that they have filed a lawsuit in federal court regarding the proposed Buena Vista Casino. The lawsuit states that Friends of Amador County is made up of residents who are “aggrieved by the erroneous, arbitrary, capricious and illegal decisions of the (U.S. Department of the Interior) Secretary Kenneth Salazar and…George Skibine, acting chairman and Commissioner of the National Indian Gaming Commission.” FOAC disputes the legitimacy of the Buena Vista tribe and the Indian lands granted to them, among other grievances including that they “will be irreparably and negatively impacted, injured and damaged by the increases in traffic, noise, vision and light pollution, crime and other significant impacts arising from the proposed operation of a class III gambling casino.” TSPN will have more information on this developing story in Monday’s edition of TSPN TV news.
