Much Ado About Nothing...

If you watch any TV at all, you're probably inundated with advertisements about the prop 94, 95, 96, and 97 expansions of indian gaming.

But, here's the real deal. These agreements have already been ratified by the federal gaming commission. Plus, the state of CA has no fiscal powers over the happenings on sovereign tribal lands. Once CA allows gaming to happen within state boarders, if gives up much of the rest of it's rights. Only as a courtesy is the governor of that state included in further negotiations.

So, vote yes, vote no. It really does not matter. The 17,000 machines will be installed, CA will get more money, and only the Supreme court can stop it now.
