Respones from the Jamul/Dulzura Planning Group to the tribe's last EIR's. They can be found here:
The current "EE" addresses some of the issues but does not show the issues need any mitigation.
Links to the Draft "EE" can be found here: www.jacjamul.com right column under JIV proposal. (large files, may take time to load)
Caltrans has yet to produce their Traffic Study. The tribe hired Kimley-Horn and Associates for the traffic portion of the EE. The traffic study Appendix 10 can be found on the website www.jacjamul.com. The study is 801 pages long but still does not address the danger of Highway 94.
Community Meeting
Additional comments will be taken and forward to the tribe.

Amicus Brief
The Supreme Court of the United States granted a oral arguements hearing on the case Salazar v. Patchak. Patchak, a homeowner in the State of Michigan filed a lawsuit against the Secretary of the Interior, Ken Salazar, stating that a tribe that was not a federally recognized tribe in 1934, does not have the right to take land into trust and "A PRIVATE CITIZEN HAS A RIGHT TO OBTAIN JUDICIAL REVIEW OF FEE-TO-TRUST CONVERSIONS IN HIS OR HER NEIGHBORHOOD".
JAC was contacted by Cheryl Schmidt of Stand Up for California in January 2012 to join in an Amicus Brief to be read into the oral arguements. 28 community groups in California joined in support of the brief. It's time the Supreme Court enforce their decision on Carcieri v. Salazar.

Issues
Lakes dropped the tribe and the tribe owes them $58M.
Where will the tribe get the money?
The past environmental reviews failed. What makes the tribe, let alone another developer and financier,
think this one will pass?
