Two California tribes say Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R) is wrongly accusing them of violating the tribal-state compact.
At issue is the number of gaming machines allowed under the compact. The Pechanga Band of Luiseño Indians and the Morongo Band of Mission Indians each say they are operating 2,000 gaming machines.
Schwarzenegger say the tribes are violating the compact because they are operating multistation gaming devices. The state counts each station as one device, putting the tribes over the 2,000 limit.
The tribes offered a compromise but Schwarzenegger rejected it. He is now threatening to close six casinos that the state says are above the 2,000-machine limit.
