Board of Supervisor’s Pending Decision
Today 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.
