Summary of Arguments FOR Proposition 29:

This is a fair agreement on Indian casinos. This agreement was signed by Indian tribes and the Governor and ratified by the Legislature in 1998. Now, some wealthy tribes want to build Las Vegas-style casinos in California neighborhoods without the safeguards of the 1998 Compacts.
