A meeting at the Clark County Public Services Center lasted several hours as people sounded off about a possible casino in Clark County, Wash.

It was standing room only and people spilled into the room next door to watch the commissioners speak and to hear public input.

The room was split; half were in favor and half were against the possible Cowlitz Tribe casino on a stretch of land near Interstate 5 near La Center.

Opponents complain of the increased congestion it would cause along I-5, among other issues.

Vancouver city leaders filed the lawsuit against the Indian Gaming Commission. It argues that “tribal casino-type gaming is only permitted on Indian lands” and “the Cowlitz Tribe has sought approval to build a casino on property which it does not own.”

 It was the final of three public meetings to address the issue.

The Clark County Commissioners office says they will now take the public input, meet with the county's attorney and decide on a date to make the vote in the next week or so.
