Sen. Ken Salazar
(D-Colorado) hasn't been confirmed as Secretary of the Interior Department but opponents of an off-reservation casino are already lobbying him.
Rep. David Wu (D-Oregon) and environmental groups want Salazar to reject the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs Reservation. Opponents say the casino site is too far from the reservation and won't benefit tribal members.
Salazar's views on off-reservation gaming aren't known. He didn't talk about the subject at his confirmation hearing yesterday and no one asked him about it either.
