The casino's been built — Jamul is still fighting it
When the casinos got started in SD County many years ago, it was evident that they were going to be environmental disasters. Large commercial operations in outlying areas would mean loss of rural character, and excessive car trips. The only solution I heard was for the State to grant to the tribes development rights in or near the cities. This would have earned more money for the tribes, and eliminated the lines of cars on backcountry roads. Rural areas could stay that way. That plan could still be applied to new and expanded casinos-- if our State politicians were committed to rural preservation and reduced driving.— January 31, 2018 10:09 p.m.
