Federal approval comes just weeks before California voters will accept or reject
ballot propositions 94, 95, 96 and 97 aimed at stopping the gaming expansion.
Will the federal approval override the results of the February 5th primary
election? Will new slot machines go onto casino floors before election?
Supporters and opponents of the gambling agreements disagree on the impact.
Pechanga Chairman Mark Macarro considers his tribe's agreement with governor and
confirmed by the state legislature is approved. "Clearly efforts to break these
comprehensive agreements are a waste of time and money for the people of
California."
However, a spokesman for the No on the Unfair Gambling Deals campaign said the
matter is not settled until the voters decide. Sponsors of the opposition
includes Hollywood Park and Bay Meadows horse-racing tracks, the United Auburn
Indian Community near Sacramento, the Pala Band of Mission Indians in San Diego
County, and the UNITE HERE hospitality workers union.
A legal analyst, Professor I. Nelson Rose of Whittier Law School, said the
agreements are subject to voter referendums and the Interior Department should
not have approved them.
