Governor Schwarzenegger Rallies Gambling Opponents

SAN DIEGO, California – As reported by the Associated Press: "With more than half a dozen Indian casinos less than an hour's drive away, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger urged a supportive San Diego crowd Thursday to reject two November ballot measures he says would expand gambling and weaken his negotiations with tribes over taxes and accountability.

"'They want to have unlimited amounts of slot machines. We cannot do that,' Schwarzenegger said. 'We don't want to turn California into one big gambling casino.'

"…Schwarzenegger, who campaigned in the 2003 recall election with a pledge to get Indian tribes to pay their 'fair share' of revenue to the state, said he has negotiated separate deals with nine tribes and intends to reach deals with dozens of others."
