Heir ins Cullyforjna, our Govinator is trying to raise funds without raising taxes.  Great!  Swell idea. no?  Actually no is it.  (R)nold signed 4 compact amendments with 4 indian tribes in socal.  According to him, it'll provide "nuen billyun" dollars for Cully fornja education, emergency services by allowing these tribes to significantly expand their casinos.  That's just plain corrupt.  The compacts ban all other gambling businesses thus create a monopoly for the tribes.  This places alot of political influence in a business that does no good for anybody except make guilty feeling (why?!?!?!) white people feel better.  It redistributes wealth mainly from middle class players (who don't have that much wealth to begin with) to a protected class in the state.  A couple folks I'm familar with have gambling problems; can't make rent, are borrowing huge sums to pay for gambling, etc, etc.  But this sure has helped out those poor suppressed "Native Americans."  Liberalism at its best!

While Cullyforjna's total budget is more like 100 billion thus the tribes' nuen billyun dollars over the next 5 years is a drop in the bucket so no influence on guv-mint as the claim will no doubt be made.  But imagine the influence these tribes will have in local politics.  Infrastructure dollars re-aimed at supporting the casinos and surrounding businesses - probably a significant share owned by tribe members.  This re-orients way too much political power towards a business line that serves no human benefit except for a select few.  It's corrupt. 

Cullyforjnians, vote no on Propositions 94-97
