Schwarzenegger slashes $30M in gaming money


California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R) has slashed $20 million in gaming revenues intended for local communities.

Gaming tribes contribute revenues to the state to help local communities and non-gaming tribes. But, in this year's budget, Schwarzenegger reduced the amount several counties receive from $50 million to $30 million.

Two lawmakers hope to recover the funds due to Riverside County ($8.5 million), San Bernardino County ($1.2 million) and other counties.
