A non-Indian casino in Oregon will take away business from the Confederated Tribes of
Grand Ronde, according to a business professor.
The tribe operates the Spirit Mountain Casino on its reservation. Professor Malcolm Greenlees says the facility would lose 65 and 75 percent of its business if voters approve Measure 75
"Nobody from Portland would drive to Spirit Mountain, anymore," Greenlees told The Oregonian. "Spirit Mountain would be a shadow of its former self."
The Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde have s spent $442,000 against the initiative. The
Confederated Tribes of Siletz
Indians contributed $93,000 and the Oregon Tribal Gaming
Alliance gave $44,102.
