Friday, April 18, 2008

Three candidates for California State Senate debated the casino sought by the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria.

Incumbent Carole Migden, a Democrat, said she opposes the casino. So does challenger Joe Nation, a Democrat.

Mark Leno, a Democratic state Assemblyman, does not oppose the casino. He said the tribe has Congressional approval to have land placed in trust.

According to The Santa Rosa Press-Democrat, casino supporters recently held a fund raiser for Leno.
