Gov. Jerry Brown, who has taken nearly $1 MILLION from gaming tribes, has signed a gambling compact with a Mendocino County Indian tribe allowing it to build a casino with 900 slot machines.
The governor's office announced the agreement Monday with the Pinoleville Pomo Nation for a casino near Ukiah, about 120 miles north of San Francisco.
It says that up to 15 percent of the casino's net earnings will be used for the community and on programs designed to address gambling addiction.
The agreement also includes steps the tribe must take to protect the environment during construction. A message left with the tribe at its office in Ukiah was not immediately returned.

QUESTION: WHY DOESN'T THIS SURPISE ANYONE? THE GOVERNMENT, THIS TIME BROWN, ONLY CARES ABOUT LINING THEIR POCKETS. HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS IN INDIAN COUNTRY. HOW ABOUT INSTEAD OF THAT, THE GOVERNOR AND THE CONGRESS TAKE A 20% CUT IN PAY, LIKE THEY HAVE MADE OTHERS UNDER THEM, AND WHILE THEIR AT IT, HAVE THEM PAY JUST A LITTLE INTO THEIR TAXPAYER PAID FREE RETIREMENT AND AND TAXPAYER PAID FREE MEDICAL? WHY DON'T THEY TAKE A REDUCTION FOR THE GOOD OF CALIFORNIA INSTEAD OF GETTING IN BED WITH CORRUPT TRIBAL LEADERS WITH TRACK RECORDS OF DISENROLLMENT AND BANISHMENTS FOR GREED AND POLITICAL POWER? TO BROWN, THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE, FOR HE CARES LESS ABOUT WHAT DISPICABLE ACTS THAT TRIBAL LEADERS ARE DOING TO THEIR OWN NATIVE AMERICANS THOUGHOUT CALIFORNIA. JUST FEED THE KIDDY. YOU DIDN'T GET TAXES RAISED SO HELL WITH HUMAN RIGHTS OF NATIVE AMERICANS, GO GET IF FROM CORRUPT TRIBAL LEADERS. HONESTY, JUSTICE, AND FAIR PLAY FOR THE NATIVE AMERICAN IN INDIAN COUNTRY IS "NONEXISTANT!" BROWN YOU ARE JUST AN ORDINARY, RUN OF THE MILL SHADDY "POLITICIAN!" NO MORAL FORTITUDE OR FIBER FOR THE GOOD OF CALIFORNIANS, ESPECIALLY NATIVE AMERICANS! YOU, BROWN, AND CONGRESS TAKE A REDUCTION IN PAY AND BENEFITS AND "BALANCE THE BUDGET!" AND WHILE YOU ARE AT IT, TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT WHAT THESE DECEIFULL AND CORRUPT TRIBAL LEADERS, THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIAS" INDIAN COUNTRY, HAS DONE TO LEGITIMATE NATIVE AMERICANS WITH ILLEGAL DISENROLLMENTS AND BANISHMENTS BY NOT FOLLOWING THEIR CONSTITUTIONS AND BY LAWS THAT ARE SUPPOSE TO BE IN PLACE SO THIS COULD NEVER HAPPEN. BUT OF COURSE YOU DON'T CARE. YOUR JUST ANOTHER POLITICAL HACK STEALING AS MUCH AS YOU CAN FROM HONEST, HARD WORKING FAMILIES FOR YOUR OWN POLITICAL AGENDA, AND YOU DON'T EVEN GIVE A RATS A.. ABOUT THE NATIVE AMERICANS PLIGHT IN CALIFORNIA!
