Description

Description: [Link]
A “Yes” vote approves and a “No” vote rejects, a law that:
* Ratifies amendment to existing gaming compact between the state and Pechanga Band of Luiseño Mission Indians; amendment would permit tribe to operate 5,500 additional slot machines;
* Omits certain projects from scope of California Environmental Quality Act; amendment provides for Tribal Environmental Impact Report and intergovernmental procedure to address environmental impact;
* Revenue paid by tribe to be deposited into General Fund; tribe would make $42,500,000 annual payment and pay percentage of revenue generated from the additional slot machines to the state.

Synopsis:
All four similar gaming compact measures (Props. 94-97) allow certain Native American tribes in California to add additional slot machines in exchange for giving the state government a higher percentage of their profits from the new slot machines. The four ballot measures differ only in which tribe they refer to and how many slot machines that tribe would be allowed to add if the measure is successful.
