A judge in California has invalidated a casino agreement between the Scotts Valley Band of Pomo Indians and the city of Richmond.
The tribe agreed to pay $335 million over 20 years for emergency services, roadwork and other impacts of a proposed casino. But Judge Barbara Zuniga said the city failed to conduct environmental reviews before signing the deal.
The tribe plans to acquire 30 acres outside of city limits for the casino. The Bureau of Indian Affairs completed the environmental impact statement in March.
