San Pasqual Tribe, Who Cheated Members of Casino Profits, Sues State for Lost Profits

In a bold move, the San Pasqual Band of Mission Indians, well known for disenfranchising some of their members, keeping them from voting as is their right, is suing the state because of lost revenue. They say, it's okay to cheat our own people, but when WE get cheated, boy, are WE mad! They are similar to the Pechanga Band of Luiseno Mission Indians, that is also well known for violating the civil rights of their people.

The North County tribe that owns the Valley View Casino in Valley Center filed a lawsuit against the state on Tuesday seeking $115 million in profits it claims were lost due to the governor's refusal to grant the tribe all the slot machine licenses to which the tribe was entitled.

Last year, the San Pasqual Band of Mission Indians received authority from the state to add more slot machines to its casino after a federal judge ruled in favor of the tribes, who argued in court that the governor was illegally withholding licenses for the machines.

Valley View Casino now has 2,000 slot machines, the maximum number it is allowed under its gambling agreement with the state.

In its lawsuit, filed Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court, the San Pasqual tribe contends the state breached its 1999 contract and illegally interfered with the tribe's ability to provide slot machine play for its patrons. OP: The tribe has interfered with the Alito family's ability to vote in elections.

By refusing to issue the slot machines licenses, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger eliminated a badly needed source of income for counties and cities that would have generated up to $30 million per year in tough economic times, tribal officials said. OP: Raise your hands if you believe that the San Pasqual tribe cares a whit about the counties and cities getting funds from them!

Final question: WHY would you patronize a business that cheats its own people?

If they will cheat their own, like Pechanga does, don't you think they'll cheat YOU?

A typical case of what comes around goes around

No it's a case of screw the others before the state can stop it and then screw the state, then sue the state for not being able to screw the customer

I am a non-Indian. I am the unwilling recipient of a courtship ‘ritual’ from a tribal member of the San Pasqual Band of Indians. I have been stalked in a manner that is visual, verbal, implied, and my home was significantly vandalized by a tribal member. The stalking events occur at least 4 times a day since February 2008.
I have been researching and studying Indian law. I understand my options for stopping the stalking. Does anyone else have suggestions of what I can do to make it stop?

This is a really sad story. I dont know much about the way Indian casinos are run, but it seems to be the same as everywhere else in the world - Full of corruption, deceit and lack of values.
I hope that the casinos are monitored a little more carefully to avoid senseless violence...
