Speaker Presentation or Program: I have invited Robb Korinke who represents a group called Speak Up Shasta which is opposing a proposed Casino development on east bank of the Sacramento River, south of Bonnyview Road. Riparian land is extremely valuable for many reasons, and what happens here will matter greatly to this community and what it will become.
