Glendale Mayor Jerry Weiers was among several individuals who testified before a U.S. Senate Committee on Indian Affairs on Wednesday regarding plans by the Tohono O’odham Nation to build the West Valley Resort, a resort-style casino near 91st and Northern avenues.
Although Weiers had pledged to convey the city’s newfound support for the Nation’s proposed casino and gaming on their swath of land, he devoted two sentences to Glendale’s official stance in his nearly six-minute speech.
