Feinstein to attempt to block big tribal casino in San Pablo

As you may have read in the San Francisco Chronicle this morning, United States Senator Dianne Feinstein is introducing legislation to repeal the amendment that allowed Casino San Pablo to skirt the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs process. I support this legislation.

I also would like to thank all of you who have posted on my blog. As many of you know, I will be holding a hearing on Casino San Pablo and urban gambling tomorrow- please come by and voice your opinion. Here's the text of the invitation that's been released to the public:

Assemblywoman Loni Hancock will be holding a town hall meeting to discuss concerns about Casino San Pablo and urban gambling. Please come to learn more about how proposed casinos may impact our community.
