REFERENDUM
When California voters approved Proposition 1A in 2000, they were specifically promised that casinos would be limited to Indian land and not permitted in neighborhoods and urban areas. The legislature recently approved a gaming agreement for the North Fork Tribe, which has land eligible for gaming in the Sierra Mountains, but was recruited by Las Vegas-based casino operator Station Casinos for a more lucrative casino location land off Highway 99 in the Central Valley.
This referendum is about upholding the will of California voters and giving voters, not elected officials, the choice to make such a dramatic change in California's Indian gaming policy. The enthusiasm and support for this effort has been overwhelming and we expect to far exceed the minimum signatures required.
