Tonight will begin a series of two Public meetings on the proposed Flying Cloud Casino to be held by the the Buena Vista Rancheria of Me-Wuk Indians. The meetings are required under the rules of the Tribal Environmental Impact Report Process and will be at the Evelynn Bishop Hall in Ione from 5 to 8 p.m. this evening and 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday. The Hall is located in Howard Park. The tribe released their latest Draft TEIR in January and will now accept public comments on the plan as part of the environmental review process. The tribe is now looking at a plan that would phase in the tribal gaming enterprise in 3 stages. The gaming floor would be increased at each stage, as would the amount of tables and machines offered for prospective customers.
