One of the pro expanded gaming commercials running now (paid for by $50 million from the big 4 tribes) claims that the agreements would allow a "modest increase in slot machines" to the tribes. Let's examine that claim.
Current slots: 8,000 New slots available with compact: 17,000 Therefore a modest increase in slots, according to the tribes is 212.5%
I encourage all workers at Pechanga to ask for a "modest increase" in salary.
The $ 8 an hour Janitor will now make: $17 per hour ($16,000 per year to $35,000)
The $12 an hour restaurant manager will now make: $25.50 per hour
The $16 an hour Pit boss will now make $34 per hour ($32,000 per year to $70,000)
The $32 an hour executive will now make $68 per hour
Do you think Pechanga would think those salary increases "modest"? Union organizers, please use the term MODEST in your next negotiations.
Vote NO to a modest increase, No to Pechanga. Please write the casino and ask them to give a modest increase of 212.5% to their employees.

How many of the current Pechanga tribal members are using a PO BOX and not really living on the rez? How much should they be paying in state income taxes? Macarro, Murphy, don't live on the rez. Masiels live in Hemet.
I think it's actually 112.5%, but your point is still a stron one.
