The Vancouver City Council announced its united opposition Monday to the Cowlitz Tribe's bid to put a casino in north Clark County.

 
This is an extremely important development, because federal decision-makers are watching for input from elected officials.
 

After listening to 90 minutes of public testimony, the mayor and six council members unanimously approved a resolution. It explains their concerns and asks the Secretary of the Interior to reject the tribe's trust application for land in north Clark County as long as its plans include a casino.

 

Mayor Pollard said he and the council had received approximately 150 e-mails and phone calls weighing in on the issue.

 

Thanks to all of you who made your voices heard!
