Dec. 16, 2011 House Spending Bill - Other Matters related to two off reservation gamging projects, Yuba County and Madera County California
NOTE: This appears on page 22 of the link below.
Other Matters.-two recent off reservation
gaming projects in Yuba, California, and Madera, California, which received Secretarial Determinations on September I, 2010. The evidentiary record provided by the Bureau of Indian Affairs indicates that only two of the 33 elected officials or bodies that were consulted on these projects expressed support for them. The conferees are also concerned that in one case, the Department appears to have largely ignored a popular vote which indicated a majority of the county was opposed to the construction of a casino on the site which was approved by the Department. Therefore, the conferees
direct the Secretary to review these applications to verify the claim of "strong local support" and report those findings to the Committees within 60 days of enactment of this Act.
