The Eastern Band of the Cherokee Indians has spent $20,000 for two tables at an inaugural event for North Carolina Gov. Mike Easley (D).
The tables were $10,000 each, the Associated Press reports. That makes the tribe one of the top donors to the event.
The tribe is trying to get state and federal approval to offer poker at its successful casino.
