County debates Enterprise Rancheria casino

Wednesday, March 11, 2009  

The board of supervisors in Yuba County, California, agreed on Tuesday to send a letter to the Bureau of Indian Affairs that speaks favorably of the proposed Enterprise Rancheria casino.

The letter says the casino will generate 1,933 permanent jobs, 1,300 temporary jobs and "additional spin off jobs." It estimates $32 million a year in payroll and benefits for employees.

Some supervisors tried to add language to the letter to acknowledge negative impacts of the casino. Some residents also spoke against the project.
