Doug Elmets Quotations

If tribes like the Rumsey tribe, who have demonstrated a shared commitment with local governments, are not permitted to participate in local planning decisions by formal means, the governor is then, in effect, encouraging tribes to remain aloof and apart from their communities and it's horrible public policy.

There has been discussion about the tribe acquiring the important sacred sites in Clover Valley. However, nothing has been consummated and the tribe has not made any decision on whether or not they will buy the land.

At the same time, we're offering an exciting new experience in California.

I really want to thank the Save Clover Valley effort. That group is extremely dedicated and they have really called attention to the valley as pristine acreage that should be preserved.
