Nobody has shown up to answer the question? Let me ask who would be the most likely to have suitcases of cash to fund such things? And why would they be involved with McClintock?
Tom says that the Indian tribes are sovereign nations and they should not be taxed on their gaming income. Think those Indian Nations would be willing to fund a few McClintock initiatives as "foreign aide" to Tom's floundering state? McClintock claims, with a straight face, that Indian gaming is NOT a special interest.
If McClintock did undertake an initiative prone administration, the need for outside funds would be ongoing. And rich with opportunities for impropriety.
Then he shouldn't be accepting campaign contributions from them.

That is particularly scary. Either (a) he can lie through his teeth without blinking, or (b) he does not have a solid grasp of ethics.

What's Tom's stance on the bill that would allow Indian tribes to make ANY land they purchase part of their reservation and allow casino gambling? I really do NOT want casinos right in my neighborhood.
But I suppose he'll say he's doing it "for the children."
