A New Mexico state lawmaker has introduced a bill to give 33 percent of slot machine revenue from Santa Clara Pueblo's casino to the city of Española.

Tribe's casino is located within city limits but on land belonging to the Pueblo. City officials say the casino has an impact on local services, such as police and emergency.

State Rep. Nick Salazar, a Democrat representing San Juan Pueblo, introduced the bill.
