Unfortunately, no one is available to speak on camera, but I have included below an official statement from Chairwoman Erica Pinto for you. For Immediate Release June 15, 2017 Statement by Jamul Indian Village Chairwoman Erica Pinto On Reports of Increased Traffic Incidents in East County We are deeply concerned about the safety of our neighbors in East County and our visitors to the Hollywood Casino Jamul-San Diego. The Jamul Indian Village has taken extensive care to address the safety needs and concerns of the community. During the development and construction of the casino, Jamul Indian Village agreed to pay more than $23 million for road and transportation improvements in the area, including widening sections of Highway 94, new stop lights and other recognized safety improvement by Caltrans. The fact is that Highway 94 has needed improvements for decades. We are working hard with Caltrans and other agencies to bring these much needed improvements in safety to the community as quickly and safely as possible. These improvements and increased safety measures simply would not have happened without our deep commitment to the community and the Hollywood Jamul Casino revenues to fund them. In 2016, the Jamul Indian Village also signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the County of San Diego, where the Tribe agreed to provide more than $90 million in funding to the county over the next 20 years for fire and emergency services to keep the entire community safe. We are proud of our donation of fire trucks, 1 additional first responders and resources to San Diego County Fire Authority, and we continue to donate to help improve public safety which has been covered widely by the local media. The California Highway Patrol has not linked any increase in DUI incidents to the Hollywood Casino JamulSan Diego. We take very seriously responsible alcohol service at the casino and have extensive employee training and robust policies and procedures in place to address this issue, in addition we are not aware of any DUI incidents involving our casino patrons. We fear this is another attempt by a few opponents of the casino to tarnish the character, reputation and the legitimacy of the Jamul Indian Village and the Hollywood Casino Jamul-San Diego. For years, these individuals have filed numerous frivolous lawsuits and unsubstantiated allegations against the Jamul Indian Village with the goal of delegitimizing our sovereign rights and turning the community against us. The Jamul Indian Village is a federally recognized Tribal Nation with the legal right to build a tribal gaming facility on its designated reservation as is the case for all other recognized Tribes in San Diego County and across the nation. Our opponents continue to question our status and they continue to lose their false claims in court. The Jamul Indian Village (JIV) is one of 13 bands of the Kumeyaay Nation, tracing its roots in Southern California back 12,000 years. Federally recognized as a sovereign nation in 1981, the Jamul Indian Village strives to protect and preserve the heritage and cultural traditions of the Kumeyaay people and to promote the self-reliance of the Tribe through education, housing, health care and employment opportunities. Jamul Indian Village maintains a longstanding commitment to the San Diego community and to improving the quality of life of the Tribe and its neighbors.

We would like to know how far along the project is in terms of road improvement. What still needs to be done? How far out are you? We understand 20 million dollars in promises were made and have not yet been kept – so we are looking to update the project. It would be preferable to have an on camera interview with someone from the Jamul Indian Village – or even the developer ? One other question --- Do you need a permit to build the casino – or can you build on the property without a permit because it is an Indian reservation? Thanks, Rory From: Bauer, Scott [mailto:Scott.Bauer@pngaming.com] Sent: Thursday, June 15, 2017 12:51 PM To: Devine, Rory (NBCUniversal, KNSD) 2
