City files lawsuit against Pechanga Band for casino agreement
Wednesday, October 6, 2010  

pechanga
The city of Temecula, California, made good on its threat to sue the Pechanga Band of Luiseño Indians over a gaming agreement.

The city is expecting $2 million a year from the tribe to address impacts of the Pechanga Resort & Casino. But the tribe hasn't paid because it is still negotiating a similar agreement with Riverside County.

"Although the City Council commonly uses litigation as a tool to conduct business, for Pechanga it is a very serious matter that is not taken lightly," Chairman Marc Macarro said in a statement. "It is not our tradition to solve issues through litigation. This approach has enabled us to become Temecula's top employer and largest economic contributor."

The lawsuit was filed in federal court.
