Kitzhaber against Medford casino
A tribal spokesman, Ray
Doering, said Kitzhaber's op
position was disappointing
but not surprising.
The one-per-tribe policy
dates to 1997 and was to last
for five years, Doefirig said.
“That period has long since
ended,” he said.
H e said communities take
a few years to warm up to
the introduction of gambling.
“Never has the first intro
duction o f gam ing in to a
community been embraced,”
he said.

as an opening to a “casino
arms race.”

to Stan Speaks, northw est
regional director o f the bu

The Coquille tribe has a
casino in N o rth B end in
Coos County.
It has bought a Medford
bowling alley and a restau
rant building and asked the
bureau to put the land in a
trust, a step toward reserva
tion status.
The casino would offer
video gambling but not table
games. T he tribe also has
agreed to lease an adjacent
golf course.

(AP) - Gov. J o h n
Kitzhaber has asked the fed

proposal by an Oregon tribe
to start a casino in Medford.
An expansion o f casino
gam bling raises concerns
such as increased crime and
alcohol, drug and gambling
abuse, he said last week in
letters to the U.S. Bureau o f
Indian Affairs.
H e also said the proposal
from th e Coquille In d ian
Tribe violates an agreement
that limits casinos to one per
tribe. T here are nine tribal
casinos in the state.

Congresswoman opposes

a risk to retaining Spokane

“The proposed site, due
to its location relative to
Fairchild Air Force Base’s
long-standing flight patterns,
p resents a clear th reat to
current and future missions

Rodgers wrote in the recent
letter.
T he Spokane Tribe has
proposed the major casino
and hotel complex just a few
blocks from the base and is
awaiting approval from the
