The Dry Creek Rancheria
Band of Pomo Indians wants to change its gaming agreement with Sonoma County, California.
The tribe signed an agreement with the county in 2008. It requires the tribe to pay $75 million over 12 years to offset impacts of the River Rock Casino.
According to county supervisor Mike McGuire, the tribe is looking to modify its payment schedule to $3.5 million a year until 2020. The tribe will have paid $13.8 million by next month.
The tribe is also interested in expanding liquor sales in order to generate more revenues. McGuire said he opposes any changes.
