US: Napa Interests Oppose Potential Casino

(Wines&Vines) - In response to the possibility of a Native American tribe gaining recognition and land in Napa County, where it could build a casino or other enterprise, an unprecedented coalition of organizations in the country have joined U.S. Sen. Diane Feinstein and U.S. Rep. Mike Thompson in opposing the prospect of such an intrusion on the county’s Agricultural Preserve. They are motivated by a suit filed by a group calling itself the Mishewal Wappo Tribe of Alexander Valley and seeking recognition as a tribe in federal courts.
