Casino Hot Topic at Two Glenn Election Events

Glenn County supervisor candidates, the district attorney, members of a grass-roots committee and a representative of the Grindstone tribe choose sides this week on Measure F.

The measure is an advisory vote asking whether Glenn County citizens support development of a casino on Interstate 5, off the reservation of the Grindstone Rancheria of Wintun-Wailaki Indians. Of five Board of Supervisors candidates present Tuesday at Carnegie Center in Orland, three candidates opposed the casino, one supported it and one said he is neither opposed, nor for it. Tracy Quarne, opposing incumbent Gary Freeman for the District 2 seat, said firmly, "No," adding that a pending bill barring off-reservation casinos could make Measure F a moot point.
