TEMECULA, California – As reported by the Desert Sun: "The Pechanga Band of Luiseño Indians has triggered a new volley of legislative activity by revealing that state Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Van Nuys, will carry legislation to ratify the tribe's new gaming deal with the governor.

"The volley of activity means tribes are getting into the starting block for a full-tilt run on the legislation after spring break.
