Boxer Resurrects Indian Tribe Deemed Defunct 40 Years Ago, Son Profits $8 Million Off It

Post #29

The posted article was pulled by The Hill, but it is confirmed at length here (includes Boxer's son's connection and evasive quotes by Boxer). Can this go viral and sink Boxer?

Rohnert Park casino bill tarnishes Boxer's green image

"Boxer's bill restored sovereign rights to a few hundred Miwok and Pomo Indians in the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria.

On Oct. 1, the tribe reached a milestone, albeit without public fanfare. The U.S. Department of Interior took 254 acres into trust, essentially creating a new reservation for Federated Indians directly off Highway 101 south of the Sonoma County city of Rohnert Park — prime land for a Las Vegas-style casino".
