The Portland Garden Club held a public forum on a proposed off-reservation casino outside of Portland, Oregon.
The Confederated Warm Springs Tribes signed a compact with the state to build the casino in Cascade Locks. But the Bureau of Indian Affairs rejected the deal because the land is not yet held in trust.
The Warm Springs Tribes say the $300 million project will generate 1,700 jobs and revenue for the state. But other tribes and some residents say the casino will set a bad precedent and will upset the environment.
