Regardless of whether or not The Mill Casino was an appropriate venue to hold a public hearing Commissioner Bob Main should have been there to register his opinions for the proposed ordinance to change the county government and to represent his constituents. Granted he may believe the hearing violated Oregon statutes requiring public hearings be held in the jurisdiction of the county and just because non tribal law enforcement has jurisdiction over criminal matters at the casino, may not mean the commission has the ability to enact ordinances specific to property held by or in trust for the tribe. There may be some merit to objections to holding a public hearing at gambling casino that serves alcohol demonstrates a level of insensitivity to citizens who will not enter on religious or moral grounds but those are legislative or supreme court arguments to be made by legal experts. Main still should have been there to tell us, the public, what he felt was wrong. He should have been there to argue those opinions with the other commissioners.
