California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R) won't negotiate a compact with the Jamul Indian Band, citing local opposition and other concerns.
The small tribe wants to add 101 acres to its six-acre reservation. Schwarzenegger said he opposed the location due to public safety and environmental concerns.
During public meetings, local officials and residents told the Bureau of Indian Affairs they opposed the tribe's land-into-trust request.
