Feinstein renews opposition to Indian casino in San Pablo

Tuesday, Jan. 25, 2005 | 9:06 a.m.

WASHINGTON -- Sen. Dianne Feinstein reintroduced legislation Monday to block a tribal casino from being built across the bay from San Francisco on land that's not part of an Indian reservation.

"I have serious concerns about the expansion of Nevada-style gaming -- with its slot machines and in-house banking -- into urban areas," Feinstein said in a statement. "This legislation is designed to prevent the Lytton Band of Pomo Indians from short-circuiting the process laid out in the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act for gaming on newly acquired lands."

An identical bill never got a hearing before the Senate Indian Affairs Committee during the last congressional session.
