slide2More fall out from the Chamber of Commerce decision to hold a seat on their tourism committee for the Buena Vista Band of Miwok Indians proposed business; the Flying Cloud Casino. The Friends of Amador County has announced their resignation from the Chamber. The move, presented to Chamber President Jack Mitchell in a letter from FOAC President Jerry Cassesi, states that although the organization has given the decision a considerable amount of thought, the Friends of Amador County views the chamber as having a position in which the chamber administration has continued to have open support for the Buena Vista Casino Proposal by the Buena Vista band of Me-Wuk Indians while, at the same time, also opposing the Ione Band of Miwok Indians proposal for a Plymouth area casino.
FOAC notes as an exception to the Chamber’s policy to not oppose or endorse any particular business, the Chamber’s position in regards to the Ione Band of Mi-wok’s Plymouth Casino proposal. Also, the FOAC state that the Chamber should consider the County of Amador’s official position against the Buena Vista proposal. The resignation was effective immediately.
