  • If the city/town is in despair with funding, they need to find ways to increase tourism and attract people from all over the country/world and give them a reason to visit YREKA.

    Businesses that are visibly Republican, flag waivers, and who vocally support Trump should have no presence in the town. No one wants to move in, visit or spend money in the state of “Jefferson”.

    Most travelers, if they are desperate enough, only pull over for gas, snacks, and supplies. The Casino can’t do all the lifting on its own. We need to attract more tourism, NOT drive it away!

    Yreka is missing an opportunity to welcome everyone!
