Gambling on Tribal Lands. Legislative Constitutional Amendment.
	Rebuttal to Argument Against Proposition 1A

Arguments on this page are the opinions of the authors and have not been checked for accuracy by any official agency.

Opponents to Prop 1A are using the same misleading scare tactics they tried Against Prop 5 in 1998. Their arguments are just as false now as they were then.

Prop 1A

• Supports Indian self-reliance by ALLOWING TRIBES TO RUN REGULATED GAMING ON TRIBAL LAND and with the same types of games that exist today.
• PRESERVES MORE THAN $120 MILLION ANNUALLY IN STATE AND LOCAL TAXES generated by Indian gaming.
• SHARES MILLIONS OF DOLLARS in gaming revenues WITH TRIBES THAT DON'T HAVE GAMING, to fund health care, education, care for elders, and other vitally needed programs.
• PROVIDES REVENUE FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES AND PROBLEM GAMBLING PROGRAMS.

"Proposition 1A and federal law strictly limit Indian gaming to tribal land. The claim that casinos could be built anywhere is totally false."

Carl Olson, former federal field investigator, National Indian Gaming Commission

"The majority of Indian Tribes are located on remote reservations and the fact is their markets will only support a limited number of machines."

Bruce Strombom, economist and author of the only comprehensive economic impact study of Indian gaming in California.

California voters, our Governor, the State Legislature and nearly all of California Indian Tribes support Prop 1A. Vote YES on Prop 1A to allow California Indian Tribes to continue on the path to self-reliance and for Indian gaming to benefit California taxpayers.
