CA Compact for selected Tribe only.

CA Compact Amendment Bills Introduced for Selected Tribe only
I am posting the following text from a bill now introduced into the California Legislative body by Assemblyman Charles Calderon, 58th District (LA County cities). How has the Morongo Band of Mission Indians proven that they are worthy of the type of specialized treatment they are getting from this bill?

I am presuming that this treatment is developing from the clause in this bill that states Morongo must pay a type of tax to the state general fund (which is calculated based upon the reported earnings of the Tribe-which they control the counting, validation and reporting of). It will be a frosty day in the Netherworld before any Tribe who signs this deal pays in what the Governor or this misguided Assemblyman has calculated.

But even if I am wrong and a Tribe doesn't take lessons from the American Corporations who are masters at shuffling of the expenses to lower reported profitability, I challenge the validity of any legislation that gives such broad authority to any group to violate environmental laws of California while expressly commanding California agencies that they are forbidden from breaking the law.

If you are asked why you oppose the Pechanga amended compact, you can tell them your opposition is based on the Pechanga Band's violations of the Indian Civil Rights Act and the fact that thesState Legislature has previously committed to support and enforce the Indian Civil Rights Act.
Any amended compact should have language that enforces the ICRA and prevents tribal officials from claiming immunity from suit so as to escape prosecution for their illegal actions.
