Voters in Sonoma County, California, could head to the polls in 2008 for an advisory referendum on the proposed Graton Rancheria casino.
The tribe wants to build a $450 million resort in Rohnert Park. The project is still in the environmental review phase but opponents hope to kill the plan.
Mike Healy, a former Petaluma City Council member, is drafting the referendum. He hopes the federal and state governments pay attention the outcome in deciding whether to approve the casino.
