Amador Supervisors Consider Settlement for New Casino
February 27, 2008
JACKSON, CA - Amador County supervisors are considering a financial settlement
with the Buena Vista Rancheria of Me-Wuk Indians to allow the tribe to build a
casino in the small community of Ione, about 40 miles southeast of Sacramento.
After voters approved a 2005 ballot measure by 85% to ban new casinos, the
county supervisors filed a lawsuit in federal court to stop the Ione casino
project. Their case has languished for three years and its outcome is uncertain.
Now the supervisors are considering a settlement offered by the tribe to drop
the lawsuit. In exchange the county will immediately receive $18 million plus $8
million annually. The tribe will also reimburse the county for its $1.4 million
in legal expenses, pay $150,000 annually to gambling and substance abuse
programs, pay the city of Ione $1 million annually, pay the Amador County
Unified School District a lump sum of $93,000, and buy the county a new fire
engine.
The Amador County Board of Supervisors are sharply divided on this issue and
will meet next week to decide their action. If they approve the settlement, they
may face recalls by the voters. If they disapprove and continue their lawsuit,
the offer goes away and the outcome may not be favorable.
