A reported 125 people rallied in California's state capitol on Tuesday to protest the expansion of Indian gaming.
Representatives of various groups, including churches law enforcement and local governments, said their views are being ignored. They want Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R) to negotiate agreements with tribes that require more local input into gaming decisions.
Schwarzenegger is working with a small group of tribes to seek more gaming revenues. His budget expects $500 million in casino revenues.
