Officials in Richmond, California, say an anti-casino group posted illegal signs all across the city.
Stop the Mega Casino acknowledged it is behind the signs that call on city council members to reject a casino agreement with the Guidiville Band of Pomo Indians. But the group, which is funded by non-Indian card clubs, says it paid a vendor to post the signs on private property.
Officials, however, said the group never applied for a permit as required by city law. The signs are being torn down as a result.
The Guidiville Band wants to build a $1.2 billion casino at the Point
Molate Naval Fuel Depot. The Bureau of Indian Affairs has
released a draft
environmental impact statement and environmental impact report for the Point Molate Resort.
