StumbleTribe to appeal ruling
Thursday, March 6, 2003 | 9:53 a.m.
PALM SPRINGS, Calif. -- The Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, owner of two casinos, will appeal a decision refusing to dismiss a lawsuit accusing it of violating state campaign-finance laws.
Sacramento Superior Court Judge Loren McMaster ruled last week that the tribe is subject to the same state campaign-finance laws that apply to other political contributors. The case was seen as an important test of Indian sovereignty.
The five-member tribal council voted Tuesday to make an accelerated request for an appeal, tribal attorney Art Bunce said Wednesday.
