Calif. tribe to negotiate for casino

FRIDAY, AUGUST 9, 2002

The Torres Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians of California can finally start negotiating a casino deal with the state.

The tribe asked to start talks more than two years ago but they never materialized. Gov. Gray Davis offered various reasons, including a lawsuit challenging the casino compacts. A federal judge upheld the agreements.
