FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 2003

The Torres Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians of California is seeking to obtain tax-free financing for a future casino project.

The tribe is following another tribe that obtained $181 million in tax-exempt bond status from the California Statewide Communities Development Authority. The Cabazon Band of Mission Indians will save a reported $25 million.

The Torres Martinez Tribe hasn't found a site for its future casino and doesn't have a gaming compact with the state yet.
