State Compacts With Indian Tribes Facing Community Opposition

The California Senate has approved individual compacts for six Indian tribes negotiated by Governor Schwartzenegger. The tribes include five of the wealthiest in Southern California, including the Sycuan. The compacts face a rockier road in the Assembly, where there is considerable labor opposition.

David Ross will talk about what the Sycuan compact includes -- adding 3,000 slots and a second casino on non-tribal land -- and detail community opposition to the deal.
