If this gets approved watch the flood gates open to Indian casinos on private land. Indian casinos pay nothing into the economy except for the jobs they provide. If this is allowed they should allow non Indian casinos to operate also. They at least, would be paying into the state coffers.

I saw this post and decided to post some Information From California about what is happening here.

Some will live in the lap of luxury: The Nevada Company that is backing them will get around 50% of the money off the top.

And many tribes "decide" that only a few of the full blooded members of the tribe are actually members.

In one case here in California, a tribe has about 200 people in it, and there are less than a dozen that are "certified" so they get all the money.

Business as usual except for the town's people that have to dodge drunken drivers and those that can't end up with a mangled car.
