Schwarzenegger Signs Deal with Tribe

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a new deal with the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians today. The new compact has been in talks since April 2006, and finally has come to an agreement for both parties. The new agreement will extend the 1999 compact that the tribe had – all the way to 2030. It also allows the tribe to add 3,000 slot machines and one more casino on their land.

The tribe was very happy with the arrangement. They felt that the agreement respects the tribe without taking anything away from the state. They felt that the government truly listened to them and that they are taking into consideration their surrounding areas as well and the impact that this new deal will have on them as well.

The state is happy because the amount of money they get will be increased. They are now getting a higher percentage on all the slot machines. Payments will be at least $23.4 million a year for the state, being paid quarterly. Over the course of the next few years that the compact is in effect, the state could realistically see about $1.8 billion in additional revenue, and that makes the state very happy.
