The Confederated Tribes of the Siletz Indians have big plans for its Salem casino – but Governor Tina Kotek doesn’t agree with the tribes.
Against the expansion of the gaming industry:
The new tribal casino was supposed to be built in northeast Salem, but Kotek isn’t a fan of such an expansion of the gaming industry. However, the tribes don’t give up on their plan.
Despite the letter that Oregon’s nine received on April 13, Kotek remains against the project. She will try to remain in the status quo, similar to former governors, who supported tribal gaming, but had some borders they didn’t want to cross. Previously, each tribe had a right to build one casino on their land, and Kotek wanted to keep it that way.
