Lars, you do understand that there are still pending lawsuits regarding the legality of the tribe, CEQA violations, and public safety? The plan to dump waste-water into a state owned ecological preserve? This tribal entity and their financial backer have completely disregarded the community and surrounding area. They claim they are opening in the summer of 2016 but do not have a permit from the the CA dept of transportation to access the property from a state highway. Illegal in the eyes of the state of CA. Penn National has claimed they are managing the property but do not have an approved management contract from the NIGC. Illegal in the eyes of the federal government. So, NO, the project has not moved forward in a legal manner. You are completely wrong.

Through the many years of my awareness of the Jamul plan and extensive research I have not seen any substantiated claims of [redacted: reference to unsubstantiated allegation]. My reading of the history and legal proceedings shows that the project has advanced in a legal manner, albeit not without opposition, over the last 15+ years.
