Fort Ord Gambling: Part Two

Today, we will continue our search for answers in the Fort Ord Reuse Authority gambling saga.

As described in my previous post, I have too many documents on this one for a single post.

First, I start with a brief letter from the Fort Ord Reuse Authority to the Monterey city manager in 1996. It is just to let him know FORA's board voted to not have casinos or card rooms.

The next two deal with the fear the local Native American tribe would build a casino on the former Army base. I did an update on this one in May which, hopefully, set the record straight on the Esselen Nation.

The deal is it would be basically impossible for the Esselens to get the land, get tribal status to do what they want on whatever land they may get and, most importantly, the tribe itself said it does not want a casino.
