Protesters Split Over JSerra Land Use and Casino Fears
A new group at JSerra High School opposes gambling via signs saying No Indian Casino. Juaneno and environmental protesters oppose using the 29 acre Junipero Serra Road parcel for athletic fields and performing arts, citing burial grounds. The new group questions motives behind pro casino fears, suggesting funding links to Indian casinos. Juaneno leaders deny planning a casino, noting tribal funds supported anti development efforts and stressing burial grounds will remain respected. The Juaneno tribe is divided into three factions.
