JAC Community Alert
SDGE
As previously reported, the JAC has learned that in 2006, SDGE had quietly purchased 3.75 acres in Jamul at the corner of Proctor Valley and Maxfield for the shocking sum of $1,000,000. SDGE has refused to disclose their plans, the impacts to Jamul and if a proposed substation is to serve the tribe. Why do we need another substation in Jamul you ask? Ask SDGE.

Lakes Entertainment
Red Hawk owners post $5M loss
Revenue was up but earnings turned to losses for Minneapolis-based Lakes Entertainment Inc., the casino development company that is the management partner with the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok, currently building a highway overpass and Red Hawk Casino just west of Placerville.
In the first half of the year, the company lost $5.4 million on revenue of $10.5 million, compared to earnings of $2.4 million on revenue of $887,000 in the first half of 2007.
Lyle Berman, chief executive of Lakes, said the prospects for the new Red Hawk Casino in El Dorado County are good now that it is awaiting a new compact for slot machines from California.
"We are excited that Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians were able to amend their gaming compact, which will allow for expanded Class Three gaming at Red Hawk Casino once the amendment is ratified by the state of California's legislature and approved by the Bureau of Indian Affairs," Berman said in a prepared release. He added he expects both approvals prior to the planned opening of the casino at the end of the year. The casino is hiring about 1,800 employees for the casino and its restaurants, lounges and child-care center.
An excerpt from Lakes 2nd quarter results
"The Jamul Casino project has been delayed due to issues with road access to the proposed casino site. The Jamul Tribe has continued construction on their reservation of the driveway road leading to the Jamul Casino site. CalTrans recently issued a letter to the Jamul Tribe indicating that it will not currently allow the driveway road to be used to access a casino operation. The Jamul Tribe's outside counsel reviewed the letter and is of the opinion that the letter lacked legal merit and, as such, the likelihood of completion of this project will not be impacted as a result of CalTrans' position. In addition to its work with CalTrans, the Jamul Tribe has submitted an application to the Bureau of Indian Affairs (the "BIA") for recognition of an access drive across the land to create a second means of access to the site over an Indian reservation road." |

No budget? Let's party! Legislature's big shots gather at a casino instead of doing their jobs

There were so many influential state legislators at the party celebrating the expansion of the Chukchansi Gold Resort and Casino the other night in Coarsegold that they could have solved the state's budget mess in between cocktails and gambling. Instead, we are 33 days into the fiscal year and there's no budget as required by law. It must be nice to be able to party instead of doing your job. |
Protest to target casino's alcohol bid
EAST COUNTY - Opponents of a liquor license for the Sycuan Casino are mobilizing and planning a letter-writing campaign they hope will persuade state officials to reject alcohol sales at the East County gambling hall. "We're trying to put together a case and information to send in a protest and get as many people that are interested in it to protest," said Pat Riggs, president of the Dehesa Valley Community Council.
Protest the Sycuan Liquor License Application
Select - Protest Against Alcoholic Beverage License Application Form 510-A. Also read the Instructions link.
To enter in the form for protesting:
Sycuan Casino located at

One of the main reasons for protesting (from ABC website):
Premises is not suitable. For example the premises is too close to a school, church, hospital, playground, nonprofit youth facility or residence and would disturb the facility or resident; the premises is located in a high-crime area and does not serve public convenience or necessity; the applicant does not have legal tenancy; the license would create a public nuisance; zoning is improper for alcohol sales.

San Diego District Office
1350 Front St., Room 5056
