Tribes have major power in California when it comes to gambling. California voters made a mistake by voting "Yes" to Prop 5 and Prop 1A.
Financial supporters of Proposition 1A massively outspent opponents. $23,923,458 was spent in favor, and $3,783 against.
Financial supporters included:
San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, $8,711,261
Morongo Band of Mission Indians, $4,620,000
Pechanga Band of Luiseno Mission Indians, $3,664,827
