Calif. tribe sued over political gifts

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 2002

A California state commission sued the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians on Thursday to force compliance with a state campaign finance law.

The tribe contends it is immune from the law, which requires full disclosure of political donations. The Fair Political Practices Commission accuses the tribe of failing to report campaign gifts.
