Commissioners end agreement barring casino plan comments
Spokane County commissioners on Friday voted to terminate a 2010 agreement with Airway Heights that prevented commissioners from commenting about a proposed casino by the Spokane Tribe on U.S. Highway 2.
Commissioner Al French said the board is preparing comments to the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs and expects to approve a letter containing the comments on Tuesday.
The comments will outline concerns about the proposed casino encroaching on Fairchild Air Force Base, French said. Development near the base could cause military leaders to close Fairchild, officials have said.
Former Commissioners Bonnie Mager and Mark Richard approved the 2010 agreement, in which the county agreed to withhold comment on the casino proposal, which needs approval from the BIA as well as Washington’s governor.
The agreement outlined payments from the casino to Airway Heights in lieu of taxes, a portion of which would go to the county.
Airway Heights City Council voted earlier in the week to rescind the agreement.
Oregon wolf killed by hunter in Idaho
ENTERPRISE, Ore. – An Oregon wolf known to biologists as OR-16 has been killed by a hunter in Idaho.
It’s the second gray wolf equipped with a tracking collar to be shot after leaving Oregon, where they cannot be hunted or shot for attacking livestock.
Oregon wildlife officials say OR-16 was a member of the Walla Walla pack in northeastern Oregon and crossed the Snake River into Idaho last month. He was shot near Lowman, Idaho, on Saturday.
Last year, a wolf known as OR-9 crossed into Idaho and was illegally shot by a hunter who was later issued a warning.
Gatorade to remove controversial ingredient
NEW YORK – PepsiCo Inc. is removing a controversial ingredient from its Gatorade sports drink following customer complaints.
A spokeswoman for the company, Molly Carter, said the move was in the works for the past year after the company began “hearing rumblings” from consumers about the ingredient. She said it wasn’t a response to a recent petition on Change.org by a Mississippi teenager.
That petition noted that the ingredient, brominated vegetable oil, has been patented as a flame retardant and is banned in Japan and the European Union. The petition had more than 200,000 supporters Friday.
Carter said the ingredient is still used in other PepsiCo drinks, such as Mountain Dew.
