WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Monday undercut California’s negotiating clout with tribes, as the justices effectively upheld a decision that the state overreached when it compelled general fund payments in exchange for casino approvals.
The court’s decision not to hear California’s appeal is an immediate victory for the San Diego-area Rincon Band of Luiseno Indians. The tribe wants to add hundreds of slot machines to its existing Harrah’s Rincon Casino & Resort, north of Escondido.
