Glad to see you're such an Indian activist. I have business relationships with the Navajo Nation in Arizona. I am aware of their sovereignty and the other benefits they receive. Still, my question is, other states receive revenue from Indian gaming, why not California?

They already generate tax revenue for California and local governments. California might have been in a better bargaining position to negotiate revenue sharing when it made its 20 year agreement with the tribes if it hadn't already had its own state gaming in place; horse racing, lotteries, scratch offs, card rooms, etc.
