California
Former San Fran mayor lobbying for tribal casino


Former San Francisco mayor Willie Brown has been hired by the Los Coyotes Band of Cahuilla and Cupeo Indians to lobby for a casino in Barstow, California.

The tribe hopes Brown's stature will make it easier to negotiate a compact with Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R).

The tribe hopes to acquire off-reservation land in Barstow for the casino. Two other tribes are seeking to build there as well.
