City sues to block Cowlitz Tribe's casino
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
The city of
Vancouver, Washington
, filed suit against the
National Indian Gaming Commission
in hopes of stopping the casino sought by the
Cowlitz Tribe
.
The city
says
NIGC's approval of the tribe's gaming ordinance violates the
Indian Gaming Regulatory Act
. The tribe's gaming site is not "Indian lands" and the tribe doesn't have a valid tribal-state compact, according to the
lawsuit
.
The tribe plans to build a $510 million
casino
on 152 acres in Clark County. The tribe meets an exception in IGRA for newly recognized tribes.
