Tribe Sues State of California Over Lost Profits

The San Pasqual Band of Mission Indians, which owns Valley View Casino in Valley Center, Calif., has filed a $115 million lawsuit against the state of California for lost profits, according to a press release issued by Stephen Warren Solomon, the law firm representing the tribe.

The damages are alleged to be a consequence of Governor Schwarzenegger's refusal to allow the California Gambling Control Commission to issue all of the slot machine licenses to which the tribe is entitled to under its 1999 contract with the state.

The tribe contends that the state breached its contract and is illegally interfering with its ability to provide slot machine play for its patrons, the release said.
