The
Los Coyotes
Band of Cahuilla and Cupeno Indians of California isn't worried about
S.1424, a bill to restrict off-reservation gaming.
The tribe is pursuing a casino in Barstow, more than 100 miles from the reservation. The bill, if enacted, would require the Bureau of Indian Affairs to consider the impact on the local community during the review process.
The tribe has entered into a municipal services agreement with Barstow. Local officials also support the casino so the city is “more than covered,” a tribal spokesperson told The Desert Dispatch.
The BIA is reviewing the casino under the two-part determination section of the Indian
Gaming Regulatory Act.
The bill, which was introduced by Sen. John McCain (R-Arizona) , would replace that section with an entirely new set of standards and conditions.
The BIA is taking comments on the
environmental impact
statement for the casino until September 14.
