After the Medford City Council’s narrow passing of Council Bill 2023-23 Thursday night, NewsWatch 12 reached out to several tribes across Southern Oregon & Northern California to hear their reaction to the change.
Back in 2013, the city council passed Resolution 2013-68, which declared a position of opposition to the Coquille Indian Tribe’s fee-to-trust application to the United States Department of the Interior to build a casino in Medford. However, during [Thursday’s] meeting, that position of opposition changed to neutral when the council voted in favor 5-3.
On Friday NewsWatch 12 reached out to the Cow Creek, Karuk and Klamath Tribes to get their response to the change.
