The chairman of the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians says a proposed bill by Rep. Richard Pombo (R-California) won't do enough to stop the spread of off-reservation casinos.
Deron Marquez wrote a letter about Pombo's draft that would limit off-reservation casinos to no more than two "Indian Economic Opportunity Zones" per state. Marquez said the idea will encourage more reservation shopping.
Marquez has been leading an effort among some California tribes to curb off-reservation casinos.
