Earlier this month, the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation sent a letter to the Vallejo City Council and Mayor Andrea Sorce requesting that the city take no action concerning a memorandum of understanding with the Scotts Valley Band of Pomo Indians and its attempt to build a casino in Vallejo.

On Tuesday, Sorce said that’s exactly what she plans to do.

“I have maintained since the outset that I believe the city should let the federal process play out and remain neutral out of respect for that process,” Sorce wrote to the Times-Herald on Tuesday. “That is why last year I voted against both the DOI comment letter on May 27 and the memorandum of understanding on Sept. 30.”
