An opposition group is asking the California Supreme Court to hear a gaming case involving the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria. The Stop the Casino 101 Coalition sued Gov. Jerry Brown (D) for signing a Class III gaming compact with the tribe. The lawsuit claims the tribe's trust land was not properly removed from state jurisdiction. A state judge and California's Court of Appeal for the 1st Appellate District dismissed the case. But the group is trying to revive it with the hopes of shutting down the $825 million Graton Resort and Casino. The tribe opened the casino a year ago this month. Get the Story:
