Tribe Takes To The Airwaves

Comments Off

Making good on the chatter from last week, the Morongo Band of Mission Indians has released its TV ad that urges viewers to call their legislators and ask that the revised gaming agreements be ratified.

You can see the ad here.

Interestingly, the ad makes it plea on behalf of all the major gaming compacts now under consideration, not just Morongo's. It also tells viewers that gaming tribes are "good, responsible neighbors."

And it ends with this line: "Don't let special interests stand in the way."

That must be a reference to the only major opponent of the agreements-- organized labor, whose leaders have argued the deals don't go far enough in allowing casino workers to join unions.
