Vote sought on urban casinos in California county

Tuesday, December 6, 2005  

The supervisor in Contra Costa County, California, is calling for residents to vote on whether they want urban casinos in the Bay Area.

The Lytton Band of Pomo Indians operates a Class II facility in the Bay Area. Two more tribes have proposed casinos nearby.

Supervisor John Gioia said gaming will only cause problems. His announcement coincided with a study from The Tarrance Group, Republican polling firm [Web Site], that claimed most people oppose an expansion of gaming in the area.
