FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 2003 A California court on Thursday rejected an attempt by the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians to shield itself from the state's election laws. The court said the tribe's sovereignty wasn't a bar to disclosure and other reporting requirements of the Fair Political Practices Commission. The tribe has posted its campaign donations on its web site and says it shouldn't be forced to comply with state law. Get the Story:
