GRAHAM MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE
I'M SCARED THAT'S TEACHER
PERSON FOR THE I AM BAD AT ME
WALK INDIANS WE HAVE THE TRIBE
I THINK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY
TO ADDRESS THE COMMITTEE TODAY
AND I'LL TRY TO KEEP MY
COMMENTS BRIEF. I AM ENEMY WALK
INDIANS IS LOCATED IN RURAL
AMADOR COUNTY NOT TOO FAR FROM
HERE. AND IT'S AN AREA WHERE
WE'VE CALLED HOME FOR THOUSANDS
OF YEARS. WITHIN A ROLL
MEMBERSHIP OF OVER SEVEN
HUNDRED AND FIFTY CITIZENS. WE
ARE THE LARGEST TRIBE IN OUR
REGION. AND WE ARE PRESENTLY
NOT ENGAGED IN GAMING. LIKE SO
MANY OF OUR SISTER NATIONS IN
CALIFORNIA. R. TRIED HISTORY IS
QUITE TRAGIC INVOLVING A
CENTRAL ON EFFORT TO SOLIDIFY
GOVERNMENT TO GOVERNMENT
RELATIONS WITH THE UNITED
STATES. I DON'T THINK YOU'RE A
HOMELAND CAPABLE OF SUPPORTING
OUR GOVERNMENT AND OUR TRIBAL
MEMBER POPULATION. I'M PROUD TO
SAY THAT THROUGH THE EFFORTS OF
SEVERAL GENERATIONS OF
LEADERSHIP AND CITIZENS WERE
ABLE TO RESTORE GOVERNMENT TO
GOVERNMENT RELATIONSHIP WITH
THE UNITED STATES NINETEEN
NINETY FOUR. AND JUST ON MARCH
TWENTIETH OF THIS YEAR WE
RESTORED OUR VERY FIRST TRIBAL
TRUST LANDS TWO HUNDRED TWENTY
ACRES IN AMADOR COUNTY RIGHT
OUTSIDE THE CITY OF PLYMOUTH.
OF COURSE THESE LONG EFFORTS
HAVE NOT COME OUT COME WITHOUT
A SIGNIFICANT COST. HIGH
PROPERTY VALUES IN OUR REGION
COMBINED WITH THE COST TO
UNDERGO THE FEDERAL FEE TO
TRUST PROCESS. AND HERE'S A
LITIGATION DEFENDING ARE
FEDERALLY RECOGNIZED STATUS AND
OR RATE TO RESTORE A LAND BASED.
HAVE LEFT US WITH CONSIDERABLE
DEBT. FURTHER A BLOCK OF LAND
BASED AND SUFFICIENT FUNDING
AND HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY
CONSTRAINED OUR EFFORTS TO
DEVELOP CRITICAL PROGRAMS AND
RESOURCES TO MEET THE NEEDS OF
OUR CITIZENS. RIVAL GAMING IS
OUR ONLY HOPE FOR MEETING OUR
OBLIGATIONS AND BEGINNING TO
BUILD A ROBUST IN SUPPORT OF
TRIBAL GOVERNMENT THAT OUR
CITIZENS DESERVE. TODAY I URGE
THE COMMITTEE TO SUPPORT OUR
RECENTLY NEGOTIATED AND AGAIN
VERY FIRST TRIBAL STATE GAMING
COMPACT. THAT WE'RE THE ONLY
TRIED SPEAKING WITH YOU TODAY
THAT IS NOT ALREADY ENGAGED IN
GAMING. WE ARE NO STRANGERS TO
THE PASTA IN COMPACT THAT
TRIBAL GAMING HAS HAD ON THE
COMMUNITY. GAMINE VASTLY
CHANGES THE ECONOMIC CLIMATE
AROUND TRIBAL LANDS IT CREATES
JOBS AND SECONDARY REVENUE
BENEFITING NOT ONLY IN INDIA
COUNTRY. BUT OUR NEIGHBORING
COMMUNITIES. ONLY REVENUE
GENERATED FROM GAMING
OPERATIONS ALLOW STRIVE TO
DEVELOP PROGRAMS TO SUPPORT
THEIR CITIZENS GENERAL WELFARE
SOCIAL SERVICES EDUCATION
ESSENTIAL SERVICES PROTECTION
OF CULTURAL RESOURCES. AND
ALLOWS US TO SISTER NON TRIBAL
NEIGHBORS THREW GRANT OTHER
PROGRAMS THAT SUPPORT THE
COMMUNITY AT LARGE. THESE ARE
PRECISELY THE SAME GOALS WE
HOPE TO ACHIEVE WITH OUR OWN
GAMING OPERATIONS. AT THE END
BRIEFLY MENTIONED COMPACT
AUTHOR UP TO TWELVE HUNDRED
CLASS THREE GAMING MACHINES AS
WELL AS VARIOUS OTHER FORMS OF
GAMING. ITSELF FORTH MEANINGFUL
CONSUMER PROTECTION. EXCUSE ME
CONSUMER AND EMPLOYEE YOU
PROTECTIONS IT CONTAINS
PROVISIONS FOR THE MEDICATION
OF OFF RESERVATION IMPACTS OF
THE GAMING FACILITY. IT
DEMONSTRATES OUR STRONG
COMMITMENT TO REVENUE SHARING
THROUGH THE R. S. T. F. AND
TRIBAL NATION GRANT FUND IN
FUTURE YEARS FUNDS THAT WE HAVE
DEPENDED ON VERY SIGNIFICANTLY
AS A NON GAMING TRIBES FOR A
LONG TIME. IT REFLECTS THE
TRIBES PLEDGE TO SUPPORT AND
INVESTMENT IN THE LOCAL
COMMUNITY FOR IMPROVED
EMERGENCY SERVICES LAW
ENFORCEMENT IN INFRASTRUCTURE
DEVELOPMENT. ALL DESIGNED TO
BENEFIT THE AMADOR COUNTY
COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE. AND OF
COURSE THE COMPACT PROVIDES THE
TRIBE WITH THE MEANS OF
GENERATING REVENUE THAT WE CAN
USE TO ESTABLISH. LONG TERM
ECONOMIC SELF SUFFICIENCY AND
PROSPERITY FOR TRIBAL
GOVERNMENT AND FOR OUR CITIZENS.
GAMING OPERATIONS WILL GENERATE
REVENUE THAT WE WILL USE TO
SUPPORT OUR SOCIAL AND
EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS HOUSING
HEALTH CARE AND THE
PRESERVATION OF OUR CULTURAL
RESOURCES. I THINK THAT WE HAVE
STRUGGLED AND WE STILL STRUGGLE
TO MAINTAIN. THIS IS INDEED A
VERY EXCITING TIME FOR THE
TRIBE. I'D LIKE TO THANK
GOVERNOR NOOSES OFF NEWSOME'S
OFFICE AND IN PARTICULAR IN A
