The backers of a commercial casino in Oregon will wait for the outcome of two controversial tribal casinos before trying to put the issue to voters.
The Warm Springs Tribes of Oregon and the Cowlitz Tribe of Washington are planning casinos that have been criticized by environmentalists, local governments and other tribes. So investment adviser Bruce Studer and attorney Matthew Rossman said they wait to pursue their proposed commercial casino.
The backers need more than 100,000 signatures to put the issue on the ballot.
