Should the tribal gaming compacts negotiated by Governor Brown with the North Fork and Wiyot Tribes and ratified by legislative statute be allowed to go into effect?
A "Yes" vote approves, and a "No" vote rejects, a statute that:
- Ratifies tribal gaming compacts between the state and the North Fork Rancheria of Mono Indians
and the Wiyot Tribe.
- Omits certain projects related to executing the compacts or amendments to the compacts from
scope of the California Environmental Quality Act.
- One-time payments between $16
million and $35
million from the North Fork tribe to local
governments in the Madera County area to address costs related to the operation of a new casino.
- Annual payments over a 20-year period averaging around $10
million from the North Fork tribe
to the state and local governments in the Madera County area to address costs related to the
operation of a new casino.
- Increased revenue from economic growth in the Madera County area generally offset by revenue
losses from decreased economic activity in surrounding areas.
- A YES vote on this measure means:
- The
state's compacts with the
North Fork Rancheria of
Mono Indians and the Wiyot
Tribe would go into effect. As
a result, North Fork would be
able to construct and operate a
new casino in Madera County
and would be required to make
various payments to state and
local governments, Wiyot, and
other tribes.
- A NO vote on this measure means:
- The
state's compacts with North
Fork and Wiyot would not go
into effect. As a result, neither
tribe could begin gaming unless
new compacts were approved
by the state and federal
governments.
- Summary of Arguments FOR Proposition 48:
- Supported by
GOVERNOR JERRY
BROWN, a YES vote on 48
will create THOUSANDS OF
JOBS, generate ECONOMIC
OPPORTUNITIES in one
of the state's poorest regions,
retain LOCAL CONTROL
of a strongly-supported
project, provide REVENUE
TO STATE and LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS, promote
tribal self-sufficiency, and avoid
development in environmentally
sensitive regions.
- Summary of Arguments AGAINST Proposition 48:
- Opens floodgate for off-
reservation gaming. Bad
deal for California.
Breaks
promise that Indian casinos
would be on original tribal
land. Authorizes massive off-
reservation casino bringing
more crime and pollution to
Central Valley. No new money
to the state general fund or
schools. Vote NO on Prop. 48.
