Why did Councilmembers Ian Hugh, Gary Sherwood and Sam Chavira co-sign a letter addressed to Kevin Washburn, assistant secretary for Indian Affairs, Secretary of the Department of Interior, chastising their own City of Glendale for its court battles against the Tohono O’odham Nation proposal to build a casino resort at 91st and Northern avenues? (See attached pdf file, “Letter to Washburn” for its full contents.)

Hugh said, “The reason I signed on with it, I agreed with Sam and Gary and figured it was time to do something.
