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.

Gray Davis entered into the first gaming compacts with the Indian tribes in 1999. He excluded revenue sharing at that time, probably in an effort to pander to the tribes and gain future monetary support himself from the tribes. The fact that he is trying to renegotiate now is hypocritical. Arnold trying to fix this, just as he will try to renegotiate the power contracts Davis signed, is not.
