2. Is Vallejo casino project in the right time ‘slot?' (timesheraldonline.com) — Vallejo officials and residents are watching closely as the Scotts Valley Band of Pomo Indians moves ahead with a small Class II gaming operation in modular trailers on tribal trust land near I-80 and Highway 37, despite federal reconsideration of the larger casino project. Disputes over transparency, an MOU, and who knew what when are fueling tensions between the tribe, Vallejo city staff, and a rival tribe.
