Board of Supervisor’s Pending Decision

Buena Vista DecisionToday marks what could be a resolution to the ongoing cliffhanger decision facing the Board of Supervisors. The Board’s pending decision to approve or reject the Intergovernmental Services Agreement with the proposed Buena Vista Casino has been debated for months. After a lengthy Board Meeting last Tuesday that included hours of emotional public input, the Board of Supervisors voted 3-2 to postpone their decision until today while they deliberate further details in the agreement. Last Thursday, Governor Schwarzenegger “respectively declined” the County’s recent plea request for his assistance, stating in a letter that he, “stands by the amended compact entered into with the tribe.” Today’s Board meeting begins at 9 am at the County Administration Center in Jackson.
