Political leaders from the California governor to a U.S. senator to the Windsor Town Council long ago went on record in their opposition to a resort-casino proposed by the Koi Nation on a 68-acre plot of lightly developed land in the Shiloh neighborhood, just outside Windsor city limits.
That project could allow the Koi to build one of the Bay Area’s largest gambling operations.
Now, two local officials have written their concerns into federal court filings.
Lynda Hopkins, representing the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors, and Jon Davis, the Windsor town manager, a month ago filed declarations opposing the Koi Nation’s attempt to dismiss a lawsuit brought by the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria against the U.S. Department of the Interior and its newish secretary, Doug Burgum.
