A California tribe is refusing to fold on its controversial $700 million casino project.
The Scotts Valley Band of Pomo Indians last week sued the US Department of Interior after the feds dealt the tribe a stunning blow in July by forcing it to suspend gambling at its temporary invitation-only casino set-up that’s part of its larger developing Vallejo gambling spread — just a day after the site opened.
The tribe’s Aug. 7 lawsuit wants the courts to reverse the decision.
The targeted casino, housed in modular buildings near Columbus Parkway, began welcoming visitors July 25 but was shut down by Aug. 1 after the department reversed its approval for the project.
