California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R) met with members of the California Nations Indian Gaming Association in Sacramento on Thursday.
The meeting was the first time Schwarzenegger has appeared before the general membership of CNIGA, the largest inter-tribal organization in the state. Two months ago, he met with CNIGA's executive board.
"We felt then as we do today, that the meeting was positive, and that your intent to start a new direction was genuine. It is in that spirit that we continue our dialogue today. It is our hope that this will be the first of regular and ongoing meetings between you and CNIGA tribal governments," CNIGA Chairman Anthony Miranda said in prepared remarks.
Miranda recommended Schwarzenegger establish a tribal liaison office. Schwarzenegger agreed to consider the proposal.
