(THE NATIVE AMERICANS ARE LEARNING A LOT ABOUT POLITICS)...THE LATEST LEASON GOES TO THE QUECHAN TRIBE IN IMPERIAL COUNTY AND ARIZONA.
THE LOCAL TRIBE, WHO OPERATE THE PARADISE CASINOS, HAVE FOR SOME TIME BEEN TRYING TO GET THEIR COMPACT WITH THE GOVERNOR APPROVED IN ORDER TO BUILD A RESORT/CASINO IN THE ANDRADE AREA. THE COMPACT REACHED BY THE QUECHANS PROVIDES SEVERAL MITIGATION AGREEMENTS WITH THE COUNTY AND LOCAL COMMUNITIES. SEVERAL OTHER TRIBES HAVE FELT THE QUECHANS AGREED TO TOO MUCH, AND HAVE STRONGLY OPPOSED THE COMPACT, REACHED IN 2005. ONE OF THE MAJOR OPPONENTS HAVE BEEN THE AGUA CALIENTE TRIBE, ONE OF THE RICHEST IN THE STATE. HOWEVER, THE SENATE RECENTLY APPROVED THE PALM SPRINGS TRIBAL COMPACT, WHICH PROVIDES VIRTUALLY NO MITIGATION TO THE COMMUNITY. THAT COMPACT NOW GOES TO THE ASSEMBLY FOR APPROVAL. THAT MEANS AGUA CALIENTE WILL NOW STOP ITS OPPOSITION TO THE QUECHAN EFFORTS. COUNTY INTERGOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS OFFICER BOB HAMM SAYS THAT MEANS THE QUECHANS MAY NOW FINALLY GET THEIR COMPACT APPROVED. |
