WE HAVE A QUORUM GERMAN. THE
SECRETARY KNOWS OF A QUORUM HAS
BEEN ESTABLISHED OKAY NOW IT'S
TIME TO HEAR FROM OUR AUTHOR.
GERMAN DODD AND YOU MAY NOT
PERCENT SCA SIX THANK YOU VERY
MUCH MISTER CHAIRMAN AND
MEMBERS. I WANT TO BEGIN BY
THANKING EACH AND EVERYONE OF
YOU FOR BEING HERE AND GIVING
ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT
SCA SIX. I WANT TO TAKE A
MOMENT TO EXPLAIN THE REASONS
WHY I DECIDED TO BRING THIS
BILL FORWARD. I'M NOT SOMEONE
WHO GAMBLES WARS LOOKING TO DO
SPORTS WAGERING MYSELF. THIS
ISN'T FOR A FUN EASY ISSUE
EITHER. THE REASONS ARE SIMPLE.
I BELIEVE THAT THE LEGISLATURE
HAS A DUTY TO THE PEOPLE OF OUR
STATE. WE HAVE A DUTY TO BRING
ILLEGAL SPORTS WAGERING OUT OF
THE SHADOWS IN SUPPORTER
COMMUNITIES WITH THE REVENUE
THAT WILL BE GENERATED. NEARLY
HALF THE LEGALIZE SPORTS
WAGERING. NEARLY HALF OF THE
NATION EXCUSE ME HAS LEGALIZED
SPORTS WAGERING AND WE SHOULD
DO IT HERE IN CALIFORNIA IN A
WAY THAT MAXIMIZES BENEFITS TO
THE PEOPLE OF OUR STATE. WHEN I
BECAME CHAIR OF THIS COMMITTEE
THREE YEARS AGO. I SUDDENLY
FOUND MYSELF IN THE MIDDLE OF A
VERY FRACTURED RELATIONSHIP
THAT HAS EXISTED BETWEEN CARD
ROOMS OF THE TRIBES FOR WAY
LONG BEFORE I BECAME CHAIR. AS
CHAIR OF GEO IN ALONG SIDE
CHAIRMAN GRAY WE BELIEVED IT
WAS TIME TO TRY TO WORK
TOGETHER ON A SOLUTION. I
BELIEVE THAT THE LEGISLATION OF
SPORTS WAGERING PROVIDES THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA WITH THE
OPPORTUNITY TO HELP EVERYONE IN
THE GAMING INDUSTRY IT'S A
PROVIDE AS MUCH REVENUE TO OUR
STATE. DURING THIS TOUGH
ECONOMIC TIMES. I KNOW THERE
ARE PEOPLE ON BOTH SIDES WHO'LL
NEVER AGREE TO A SOLUTION. BUT
I HOPE THAT IF YOU TAKE A
MOMENT TO REALLY LOOK AT WHAT
THIS BILL IS. UNDERSTANDING
THAT IT IS STILL A WORK IN
PROGRESS YOU WILLCOME TO THE
SAME CONCLUSION THAT I HAVE.
THAT WE CANNOT AFFORD. INACTION
UNDER THIS BILL THE TRIED TO
GAIN THE ABILITY TO OFFER CRAPS
ROULETTE AS WELL AS THE ABILITY
TO CONDUCT SPORTS WAGERING BOTH
AT THEIR TRIBAL CASINOS AIR AND
ONLINE. AS MANY OF YOU KNOW
HORSE RACING IS CURRENTLY THE
ONLY INDUSTRY AUTHORIZED TO
CONDUCT MOBILE WAGERING. THIS
BILL WILL SIMILAR SIMILARLY
AUTHORIZE HORSE RACING COULD
CONDUCTS WARTS WAGERING ONLINE
AS WELL AS OF THEIR BREAK IN
MORTAR LOCATIONS. THE CARD
ROOMS WOULD NOT LET ME REPEAT
THAT CARD ROOMS WOULD NOT BE
AUTHORIZED TO CONDUCT SPORTS
WAGERING. BUT MY INTENTION IS
TO PROVIDE CARD ROOMS WITH
CLARITY ON THE GAMES THEY PLAY.
FOR THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
LEGALIZATION OF SPORTS WAGERING
NOT ONLY PROVIDES A NEW REVENUE
SORTS SOURCE WHICH IS
ESTIMATED. AS HIGH AS FIVE
HUNDRED TO SEVEN HUNDRED
MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR IN A
MATURE MARKET. BUT AN
OPPORTUNITY TO BRING THIS
ILLEGAL ACTIVITY OUT OF THE
SHADOWS. MEMBERS WE MUST BE
HONEST WITH OURSELVES SPORTS
BETTING. IS AND WILL CONTINUE
TO OCCUR IN CALIFORNIA
REGARDLESS OF ITS LEGALITY. A
VOTE FOR THE LEGALIZATION OF
SPORTS WAGERING. IT'S SUPPOSED
TO REGULATE THE INDUSTRY TO
PROTECT OUR CONSTITUENTS IT TO
ENSURE THAT THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. GETS ITS FAIR SHARE.
I APPRECIATE THE RECENT OUT
REACH FROM TRIBAL LEADERS
ESPECIALLY RINCON BAND OF
LOOSELY NEO- INDIANS CHAIRMAN
BO WAS ATTY. FOR A WILLINGNESS
AND COMMITMENT TO ENGAGE IN
SUBSTANTIVE GOOD FAITH
NEGOTIATIONS TO ADDRESS SOME
OUTSTANDING ISSUES IN THIS BILL.
IT'S A VERY HONORABLE OVERTURE
AND I'M HOPEFUL THAT WE CAN
COME TOGETHER WORK OUT DETAILS
ESPECIALLY AROUND THE CAR ROOM
ISSUE. BASED ON OUR DEADLINES
WE NEED TO MOVE FOR WITH OUR
COMMITTEE VOTE TODAY. BUT I
HAVE COMMITTED TO COME TO THE
TABLE FOR THOSE SUBSTANTIVE
GOOD FAITH NEGOTIATIONS AND I
WILL NOT BRING THIS BILL UP ON
THE FLOOR BEFORE WE HAD A
CHANCE FOR THOSE DISCUSSIONS.
EIGHTY BILL WE BRING TO THE
FLOOR WILL HAVE AMENDMENTS TO
HELP ADDRESS THE CONCERNS OF
THE TRIBES. THERE'S BEEN
SIGNIFICANT WORK TODAY. AND I
KNOW THERE IS A LOT OF WORK YET
TO BE DONE ON THIS ISSUE. I
BELIEVE WE CAN ADVANCE A
COLLABORATIVE SOLUTION. IT'S A
WIN WIN BUT IT ALL STARTS WITH
THE COMMITTEE ADVANCING SCA SIX
HERE TODAY. I WOULD NOW LIKE TO
TURN- MISTER CHAIRMAN IT OVER
TO SHERMAN GRAY WHO WILL
PROVIDE A FEW COMMENTS. GOOD
AFTERNOON SENATORS AND THANK
YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY SAID A
FEW WORDS ON SCA SIX. HI THIS
IS A JOINT EFFORT. ON BEHALF OF
MYSELF AND SENATOR DODD THE TO
RESPECTIVE POLICY COMMITTEE
CHAIRS HERE TO STAY LEGISLATURE
THIS IS AN ISSUE WE WORKED ON.
FOR SEVERAL YEARS SO. THERE'S
GONNA BE LAW LOBBYING. AROUND
THIS BILL THERE SHOULD BE A LOT
OF- MISGUIDED COMMENTS AND
ACCUSATIONS ABOUT NOBODY WAS
TOLD THIS OR SOMEBODY WASN'T
TOLD THAT OR WHATEVER WE CAN
TALK ABOUT OTHER THAN
SUBSTANCE. THE SUBSTANCE IS
SIMPLE HERE WE'VE GOT A MULTI
BILLION DOLLAR DEFICIT THAT
WE'RE ALL GOING TO STRUGGLE
WITH. THIS YEAR. SPORTS WORK
WAGERING OCCURS IN EACH AND
EVERY SENATORS DISTRICT ON THE
FOR THERE'S NOT A ONE OF YOU
WHO DOESN'T HAVE CONSTITUENTS
WHO ARE CURRENTLY BETTING ON
SPORTS. ON ILLEGAL UNREGULATED
ONLINE APPS THAT'S BEEN GOING
ON FOR YEARS AND IT WILL
CONTINUE TO GO ON. THE CHOICE
TODAY IS DO WE WANT TO REGULATE
THAT MARKET HERE IN CALIFORNIA.
TAX THAT MARKET HERE IN
CALIFORNIA AND REYES AS MUCH AS
FIVE HUNDRED MILLION TO WELL
OVER A BILLION DOLLARS IN TAX
REVENUE THAT CAN HELP US
NAVIGATE THESE UNCERTAIN AND
DIFFICULT TIMES. RIGHT A BETTER
PRODUCT FOR THE- SPORTS FAN AND
INDIVIDUALS WHO ENJOY SPORTS
WAGERING ALSO PROVIDE ANOTHER
PRODUCT FOR THE BUSINESSES HERE
IN CALIFORNIA. THE INCLUDE. OUR
HORSE RACING FACILITIES. AND
OUR TRIBAL GOVERNMENTS AND
THEIR CASINOS. THEY CURRENTLY
ARE UNABLE TO OFFER A VEGAS
STYLE PROJECT THIS AMENDMENT
WILL ALLOW THEM TO COMPETE HEAD
TO HEAD. WITH OUR NEIGHBOR
NEVADA AND OFFER A FULL LINE OF
GAMES INCLUDING SPORTS WAGERING
INCLUDING A CRAPS AND ROULETTE
AND SLOT MACHINES THEY WILL BE
THE EXCLUSIVE. ENTITY THAT CAN
OFFER THAT. AT THE SAME TIME WE
CAN TAKE THE REVENUES FROM
ONLINE SPORTS WAGERING HERE IN
CALIFORNIA AND DO A LOT OF GOOD
FOR CALIFORNIANS I SAT ON THE
FLOOR RECENTLY IT. IS AWFULLY
HARD FOR ANY OF US TO GO HOME
AND EXPLAIN TO OUR CONSTITUENTS
THAT WE RESPONDED TO THE
GREATEST PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS
THE LAST HUNDRED YEARS. BY
CUTTING HEALTHCARE. LET'S TAKE
EVERY STEP WE CAN MEMBERS TO
ENSURE THAT WE- DON'T HAVE TO
MAKE THOSE CUTS THESE ARE
DIFFICULT TIMES OF DIFFICULT
CHOICES ARE GOING TO BE HAVE TO
BE MADE THAT'S A CERTAIN. BUT
LET'S NOT LET LET'S TAKE STEPS
TO REDUCE THAT. LET'S MOVE THIS
FORWARD LET'S BRING ALL THE
PARTIES TO THE TABLE. LET'S PUT
ASIDE SOME OF THE SILLY
LOBBYING AND GET TO THE
SUBSTANCE. OF WHAT CAN BENEFIT
TRIBAL GOVERNMENTS WHAT CAN
BENEFIT OUR HORSE RACING
INDUSTRY ONE OF THE BEST IN THE
COUNTRY- AND LET THE TWO
CHAIRMEN OF THE TWO POLICY
COMMITTEES DO THE IMPORTANT
WORK TO BRING YOU MEMBERS A
BILL ON THE FLOOR. THAT WILL
HELP ALL CALIFORNIANS THANK YOU
FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU
CHAIRMAN GRAY. NOW WE WILL MOVE
ON TO ANYONE WANTING TO TESTIFY
IN SUPPORT DUE TO CONSTRAINTS
REGARDING THE LINK THAT
HEARINGS TECHNOLOGY
CONSIDERATIONS AND NEW CLEANING
PROTOCOLS. COMMITTEES WILL
INSTITUTE TIME LIMITS ON
TESTIMONY ACCORDINGLY EACH SIDE
WILL BE PERMITTED A TOTAL OF
TEN MINUTES ALL OTHERS WISHING
TO TESTIFY MISS LIMIT THEIR
COMMENTS TO NAME. AFFILIATION
AND THE POSITION ON THE
MEASURE. CHAIRMAN DOT IT LEAVE
THE YOU HAVE SHOWN LAYING IN
ERNIE HERNANDEZ WHO ARE HERE IN
THE GALLERY TO TESTIFY IN
SUPPORT AS WELL AS CHRIS GROVE
ON THE PHONE. MR CHAIRMAN
MEMBERS JOE LG REPRESENTING
THE COALITION OF SUPPORTERS OF
ESSAYS SIX- I THANK YOU AND
HAVE THE UTMOST RESPECT FOR THE
AUTHORS FOR THE COMMITTEE. AND
DEEPEST RESPECT FOR THE TRIBAL
GOVERNMENTS TO EXPRESS CONCERNS
WITH THIS LEGISLATION. I
BELIEVE CENTER DOT IN A SEVEN
GRAY HAVE PROBABLY ARTICULATED
HOW IMPORTANT THIS MEASURE IS
AND HOW IT MEETS THE TEST OF
BOTH SOUND PUBLIC POLICY AND
FAIR PUBLIC POLICY TO ALL THE
VARIOUS STAKEHOLDERS. THE
MEASURE MEETS THE STANDARD OF
SOUND PUBLIC POLICY FOR AT
LEAST THREE REASONS. ONE AT A
TIME WHEN THE STATE IS IN NEED
OF ADDITIONAL REVENUE IT WILL
PROVIDE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS ANNUALLY TO THE STATE.
TO HELP AVOID DEVASTATING CUTS
TO IMPORTANT SERVICES. TWO
HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILLION
DOLLARS IN YEAR ONE. AND FIVE
HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS IN
FUTURE YEARS. ALLOWING
CALIFORNIA TO COMPETE AGAINST
TWENTY THREE OTHER STATES WHO
HAVE AUTHORIZED SPORTS WAGERING
ALREADY. NUMBER TWO IT WILL
HELP TO ELIMINATE THE CURRENT
ILLEGAL SPORTS WAGERING MARKET.
ESTIMATED TO BE IN THE MANY
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND GIVE
CALIFORNIA CONSUMERS A SAFE
LEGAL AND WELL REGULATED MANNER
IN WHICH TO PARTICIPATE. IT
WILL HELP TO PRESERVE HUNDREDS
OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN LOCAL
REVENUE TO LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
WHO ARE ALSO FACING THE
DEVASTATING IMPACTS OF CODE
NINETEEN TO THEIR ECONOMIES.
THE MEASURE BEFORE YOU ALSO
MEETS THE STANDARD OF A FAIR
AND EQUITABLE POLICY FOR THE
VARIOUS STAKEHOLDERS INVOLVED.
ONE TRIBAL GOVERNMENTS CHOOSING
IN SOME CASES TO POSE AS
PLEASURE WOULD BENEFIT BY A THE
ABILITY TO CONDUCT SPORTS
WAGERING AT THEIR TRIBAL
CASINOS. IN THE SAME MANNER IN
WHICH. THE TITLE INITIATIVE
ALLOWED. BE THEY RECEIVE THE
ADDITIONAL BENEFIT OF BEING
ABLE TO CONDUCT ONLINE SPORTS
WAGERING BUT ONLY IF THEY
CHOOSE TO DO SO. THIS MEASURE
DOES NOT MANDATE THE CONDUCT OF
ONLINE WAGERING AT ALL. NUMBER
THREE THE MEASURE FURTHER
ALLOWS TRIBAL CASINOS TO OFFER
THE GAMES OF ROULETTE AND CRAPS
ANOTHER SIGNIFICANT SOURCE OF
REVENUE FOR THEIR COMMUNITIES.
ANOTHER WAY IT CREATES AN
EQUITABLE POLICY. IS FOR
CALIFORNIA'S LICENSE CARD CLUBS.
IN THIS CASE IT WILL SIMPLY
ALLOW THEM TO CONTINUE OFFERING
THE SAME GAMES THEY ARE
CURRENTLY OFFERING. THAT
AUTHORIZED TO PLAY IN THE SAME
MANNER IN WHICH THEY ARE
CURRENTLY PLAYED. WHAT CARD
CLUBS WOULD STRONGLY DESIRE TO
ALSO OFFER SPORTS WAGERING.
THIS MEASURE DOES NOT ALLOW
THAT AND CARD ROOMS ARE STILL
SUPPORTIVE OF THE MEASURE. FOR
THE VARIOUS PROFESSIONAL SPORTS
LEAGUES WHO STRONGLY SUPPORT
THIS MEASURE IT OFFERS AN
EFFECTIVE WAY OF ELIMINATING
ILLEGAL WAGERING ON THEIR
SPORTING EVENTS. AND PROTECTING
THE INTEGRITY OF THEIR SPORTS.
AS ALSO MENTION BY THE AUTHORS
CALIFORNIA'S HORSE RACING
TRACKS BENEFIT AS THEY WOULD BE
ABLE TO OFFER SPORTS WAGERING
IN THE SAME MANNER AS THE
INITIATIVE. ORIGINALLY AUTHORED
BY SOME TRIBAL GOVERNMENTS. IN
ADDITION TO THE ALREADY
AUTHORIZED ONLINE WAGERING ON
HORSE RACING WHICH EXISTS TODAY.
SO WHAT'S MISSING FROM THIS
MEASURE. THAT WAS INCLUDED IN
THE TRIBAL EDITION. THAT IS A
PROVISION CREATING A PRIVATE
RIGHT OF ACTION. WHICH IS A
TOOL TO DISRUPT IF NOT TOTALLY
DESTROYED CALIFORNIA'S LICENSE
CARD ROOMS AS WE KNOW THAT. SO
WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE REAL
WORLD THAT THIS MEASURE PASSES
AND IS APPROVED BY THE VOTERS.
ONE TRIBAL CASINOS WILL BENEFIT
BY OFFERING SPORTS WAGERING
CRAPS AND ROULETTE. TWO CAR
CLUBS WILL CONTINUE TO EXIST AS
WE KNOW THEM TODAY. THREE THE
STATE WILL REALIZE HUNDREDS OF
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN GREATLY
NEEDED REVENUE. AND FOR
HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT REVENUE
WILL BE PRESERVED. ALL OF THOSE
ARE POSITIVE RESULTS AND
DEPENDENT UPON EACH OTHER. YOU
MAY HEAR FROM OPPONENTS TODAY
THAT THIS MEASURE ACTUALLY
GIVES THE CAR CLUBS A
SUBSTANTIAL EXPANSION OF
GAMBLING BY ALLOWING THEM TO
EXIST AND PLAY THE GAMES THAT
THEY CURRENTLY ARE AUTHORIZED
TO PLAY. I WOULD SUGGEST DON'T
BE FOOLED BY THOSE ARGUMENTS.
CERTAIN NUMBERS OF TRIBAL
GOVERNMENTS ABOUT SUIT AGAINST
THE STATE AND CARD CLUBS MAKING
THIS ARGUMENT. THEY HAVE NOT
AVAILED IN THOSE SIX. THIS
MEASURE SIMPLY SURE IS THAT
CARD CLUBS AS WE KNOW THEM
RIGHT NOW CAN CONTINUE TO EXIST.
YOU MAY ALSO HEAR THAT ONLINE
WAGERING WOULD ALLOW MINORS TO
WAGER. HORSE RACING'S TWENTY
YEAR HISTORY OF ONLINE WAGERING
IS PROVEN THAT WALL. THE
TECHNOLOGY EXISTS TO ASSURE
WAGERING OCCURS ONLY BY ADULTS
AND IN FACT IN THE TWENTY YEARS
OF HISTORY THERE HAS NEVER BEEN
AN ALLEGATION MINERS USING THE
INTERNET TO WAGER ON HORSE
RACING. TO SUMMARIZE. A VOTE IN
FAVOR THIS MEASURE HELPS FIRST
AND FOREMOST THE STATE. IT ALSO
HELPS LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
PROVIDES TRIBAL GOVERNMENTS
WITH ADDITIONAL GAMING
OPPORTUNITIES. PROVIDES HORSE
RACING WITH HELP IN THESE
CHALLENGING TIMES AND ALLOWS
CARD CLUBS TO CONTINUE TO EXIST.
IN SOME WAYS THIS MEASURE IS
AND COULD BE A WIN WIN FOR ALL
OF THE VARIOUS ENTITIES
INCLUDING THE STATE AND LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS. WE DO RESPECT
CONCERNS RAISED BY TRIBAL
GOVERNMENTS. WE LOOK FORWARD
VERY MUCH TO THE GOOD FAITH
NEGOTIATIONS MENTIONED BY BOTH
THE AUTHORS. AND HOPE TO MAKE
THIS MEASURE REALITY IN A WAY
THAT. HAS AN AGREEMENT AND
STRONG SUPPORT BY ALL THE
PARTIES. WITH ME ON THE PHONE
IS CHRIS GROW FROM THE HIGHLY
RESPECTED ECONOMIC FORECASTING
FIRM OF OTHERS AND CRAZY. WHO
WILL SPEAK TO THE SIGNIFICANT
REVENUE NUMBERS THAT THE CITY
CAN EXPECT. AND MISTER
HERNANDEZ CITY MANAGER OF THE
CITY OF ALL AND GARDENS WHO
WILL TESTIFY ON THE DEVASTATING
IMPACTS OF ALLOWING CARD ROOMS
TO BE ELIMINATED. WITH THAT
MISTER CHAIRMAN I THINK- MISTER
GROW WAS ON THE PHONE. THANK
YOU MISTER LAYING. CAN WE CALL
MISTER GROW ON THE PHONE.
MISTER KROEGER LINE IS OPEN
PARDON ME JUST A MOMENT. KRYCEK
GAVE ME A CALIFORNIA BASED
RESEARCH FIRM WHERE I HAD UP
OUR SPORTS BETTING PRACTICE WE
HAVE HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF
APPEARING PREVIOUSLY IN FRONT
OF THIS COMMITTEE AND I THANK
YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO
DISCUSS OUR RECENT WORK ON THE
CALIFORNIA SPORTS BETTING
QUESTION. I AM SPEAKING TODAY
TO SUMMARIZE OUR LATEST
PROJECTIONS FOR IT LEGAL SPORTS
BETTING IN CALIFORNIA. ARE NOW
OFFICIALLY COMMISSION BY THE
NONPROFIT GROUP YOU KNOW ON THE
GAMBLING POWER GRAB. THE ONLY
INPUT THAT ANGIE PC PROVIDED.
WITH POLICY PARAMETERS AND TIME
FRAME FOR THE ANALYSIS. THE
GROUP OTHERWISE HAD NO INPUT
INTO OR CONTROL OVER OUR FINAL
RESEARCH PROJECT. OUR REPORT
AND ALL OF THE UNDERLYING
MODELS HAVE BEEN MADE AVAILABLE
TO THE COMMITTEE I WILL KEEP MY
TESTIMONY GRIEF AND FOCUSED ON
THREE KEY TAKE AWAYS FROM OUR
ANALYSIS. TAKE AWAY ONE. POLICY
CHOICES IMPACT ILLEGAL SPORTS
BETTING MARKET CAPTURE. OUR
ANALYSIS OF THE STATUS QUO FOR
LEGAL SPORTS BETTING IN THE
UNITED STATES LEADERS TO
CONCLUDE THAT POLICY CHOICES
ESPECIALLY THE QUESTIONS OF
WHETHER OR NOT TO ALLOW ONLINE
SPORTS BETTING AND HOW TO
STRUCTURE TAXES AND FEES PLAY A
MAJOR ROLE IN DETERMINING HOW
MUCH OF THE ILLEGAL MARKET
DEMAND IS CAPTURED BY LEGAL
SPORTS BETTING. THANK YOU
CALIFORNIA'S BETTING MARKET
COULD RAMP UP QUICKLY. THANK
YOU NINA CONDUCIVE TAX AND
REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT WE
BELIEVE THAT CALIFORNIA HAS THE
ABILITY TO RAMP UP FASTER THAN
A TYPICAL MARK. THAT MEANS THE
STATE CAN POTENTIALLY REALIZE
MATERIAL SHORT TERM REVENUE
FROM LEGAL SPORTS BETTING
ESPECIALLY VIA UP FRONT LIKE
THE- SPECIFICALLY WE FORECAST
THAT IN THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF
ACTIVITY. LEGAL SPORTS BETTING
IN CALIFORNIA COULD GENERATE
SEVEN HUNDRED AND SIXTY ONE
MILLION DOLLARS IN GROSS GAMING
REVENUES. WHICH WOULD FLOW
THROUGH TO TWO HUNDRED AND
EIGHTY TWO MILLION DOLLARS IN
DIRECT TAX AND BE REVENUE TO
THE STATE. THIRD AND FINAL TAKE
AWAY IS THE CLIFORNIA COULD
EASILY BECOME ONE OF THE MOST
PRODUCTIVE THE SPORTS BETTING
MARKETS IN THE WORLD. AGAIN
ENDING A CONDUCIVE ENVIRONMENT
WE BELIEVE THAT THE NEXT OF
CALIFORNIANS DYNAMIC ECONOMY
DEMONSTRATED AFFINITY FOR
GAMBLING A DEEP AND VERY SPORTS
FANDOM AND THE STATE'S FLAGSHIP
STATUS IN THE U. S MARKET
WE'LL ALL CONTRIBUTE TO CREATE
A LEGAL SPORTS BETTING MARKET
THAT STATE IN THE- TOP TIER.
I'M GLOBAL MARKETS ON. AFTER
THE BASIC. SPECIFICALLY WE
FORECAST MARKET MAJORITY LEGAL
SPORTS BETTING IN CALIFORNIA
WILL GENERATE APPROXIMATELY
THREE POINT TWO BILLION DOLLARS
IN ANNUAL GROSS GAMING REVENUE
FLOWING THROUGH TO
APPROXIMATELY FIVE HUNDRED AND
THREE MILLION DOLLARS IN ANNUAL
DIRECT AND TAX REVENUE FOR THE
STATE. WE READILY ADMIT THAT
REASONABLE PEOPLE CAN DISAGREE
ON THE ULTIMATE FIVE OF
CALIFORNIA SPORTS FOR THE
DOCTOR TO. NO ONE IS ARGUING
ABOUT THE AMOUNT CALL INTO THE
NUMBER. GIVEN THE RIGHT POLICY
CONDITIONS THERE IS LITTLE
CREDIBLE DEBATE THAT CALIFORNIA
WILL BE THE LARGEST SPORTS
BETTING MARKET UNITED STATES.
AND ALSO A LITTLE DEBATE THE
CALIFORNIA HAS THE POTENTIAL TO
BECOME ONE OF THE MOST
PRODUCTIVE MAJOR SPORTS BETTING
MARKETS ON AN ADULT PER CAPITA
BASIS IN THE WORLD. I THANK YOU
AGAIN FOR YOUR TIME AND I AM
AVAILABLE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS
NOW FOR CALLING THIS HEARING.
THANK YOU MISTER GROW. NOW THE
GALLERY BELIEVES WE HAVE MISTER
HERNANDEZ. FOR STATE WHEN
YOU'RE READY. GOOD AFTERNOON
AUDIBLE CHAIR AND COMMITTEE
MEMBERS MY NAME IS THERE ANY
HERNANDEZ I AM THE CITY MANAGER
FOR THE CITY OF WEINGARTEN'S
NAME SPEAKING TO IN THAT
CAPACITY. THE CITY IS
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITY LOCATED
IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY WITH 77%
LATINO POPULATION. WITH MEDIAN
INCOMES AND EDUCATION LEVELS
ARE LOWER. THAN THE COUNTY AND
STATE AVERAGES. I AM HERE TO
STRONGLY SUPPORT SCA SIX AS A
PROVIDE CERTAINTY. BUT
CONTINUED REVENUES JOBS AND
ECONOMIC ACTIVITY THAT OUR CITY
AND THOSE LIKE. CAN RELY ON TO
CONTINUE TO STRIVE. THE GARDENS
CASINO WHICH HAS OPERATE IN THE
CITY FOR THE PAST TWENTY TWO
YEARS IS A CRITICAL PARTNER TO
THE OUR COMMUNITY. IT HAS
SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL IMPACT
AND HAS PLAYED A CRITICAL ROLE
IN THE CITY'S ABILITY TO FIGHT
CRIME AND ROLL BACK MAJOR GANG
ISSUES. THE GUARDS CASINO IS
LARGE EMPLOYER IN THE CITY. AND
HAS HELPED TRANSFORM
WEINGARTEN'S COMMUNITY IN A
POSITIVE MANNER. AND PROVIDES
RESIDENTS AND OUR NEIGHBORING
COMMUNITIES WOULD GOOD PAYING
JOBS AS WELL AS A RESOURCES. TO
PROVIDE ESSENTIAL AND QUALITY
OF LIFE MUNICIPAL SERVICES.
GAMING TAX REVENUES DERIVE FROM
THE GUARDS CASINO MAKE UP OVER
70% OF THE CITY'S GENERAL FUND.
WE SIMPLY CANNOT PROVIDE
ESSENTIAL AND QUALITY OF LIFE
SERVICES AND PROGRAMS AT THE
LEVEL WE HAVE NOW WITHOUT THIS
CRITICAL REVENUE SOURCE. AS A
CONSEQUENCE OF THE KOBE
NINETEEN PANDEMIC. OVER THE
LAST FEW MONTHS WE HAVE
PAINFULLY LEARNED WHAT IT WOULD
BE LIKE WITHOUT THE GARDENS
CASINO AND THE REVENUES THAT
GENERATES. AND I GOT TO TELL
YOU THAT THE HOUSE LOOKS VERY
BLEAK THE CITY HAS ALREADY
ISSUED LAYOFF NOTICES AS IN THE
UNFORTUNATE PROCESS OF
SIGNIFICANT ELIMINATING. AND
ARE REDUCING SERVICES. THE CITY
WILL HAVE TO BALANCE THE KNOWN
LOSSES OF MORE THAN FOUR
MILLION DOLLARS IN THE CURRENT
FISCAL YEAR. THE RESERVE FUNDS
AND THE REDUCTION OR
ELIMINATION OF QUALITY OF LIFE
PROGRAMS AND SERVICES. THESE
KNOWN LOSSES ALREADY REPRESENT
ABOUT 21% OF THE CITY'S BUDGET.
THE REDUCTION ELIMINATION POLLY
LIKE PROGRAMS WILL INCLUDE
SENIOR NEW SERVICES TO INCLUDE
PROGRAMMING TRANSPORTATION AND
EXCURSIONS. YOUTH ACTIVITIES
AND SPORTS NONPROFIT
PARTNERSHIPS. RECREATIONAL
HEALTH AND TECHNOLOGY CLASSES.
AND EVEN ESSENTIAL PROGRAMS
SUCH AS INFRASTRUCTURE
IMPROVEMENTS. FURTHER LOSSES
WOULD BE DEVASTATING I COULD
SPELL IT SHUT DOWN OF THE EVEN
ESSENTIAL SERVICES. SUCH AS
IMPACT AND PUBLIC SAFETY AND
COULD EVEN MEAN ON CORPORATION
OF THE CITY AS WE SIMPLY DO NOT
HAVE THE RESOURCES. TO PROVIDE
SERVICE. FIRED YOU TO VOTE YES
ON THIS CA SIX TO PRESERVE THE
REVENUES THAT PROVIDE THE JOB
SAFETY AND QUALITY OF LIFE FOR
OUR CAR CLUB CITIES. WITHOUT
YOUR SUPPORT WE ARE DEAD THE
WATERS ORGANIZATION ANY
COMMUNITY TO OPPOSE THIS BILL
IS TO STOP OUR PROGRESS AND

GAMES IN PLAIN SIGHT GENERATED
REVENUES THAT RIGHTFULLY SHOULD
QUOTA TRIBAL GOVERNMENTS IN VIA
OUR CONTACT. ULTIMATELY FLOWING
BACK TO LOCAL COMMUNITIES AND
NON GAMING TRIBES WHY DID THE
SPORTS WAGERING BILL CONTAINED
A GIFT TO BRING GAMES. THE CARD
ROOM INDUSTRY WHOSE ENTIRE
BUSINESS MODEL IS BUILT AROUND
SIR COMPETING CALIFORNIA LAW
FOR ITS OWN BENEFIT AND THE
DIRECT EXPERIENCE OF TRIBAL
GOVERNMENTS. YOU TALKED ABOUT
NOT HAVING A SOLUTION OR TRYING
TO COME TO A SOLUTION BETWEEN
CARD ROOMS AND TRIES TO
SOLUTION SIMPLE CARGO SHIP GAME
LEGALLY NOT CIRCUMVENT THE LAW.
WHY DO WHY DID OF SPORTS
WAGERING BUILT. IT REWARDS ARE
COURTROOM INDUSTRY WERE SERIOUS
CRIMINAL ACTIVITY MAJOR
VIOLATIONS OF STATE AND FEDERAL
LAW OR ON COVERED WITH ALARMING
REGULARITY INTENTIONALLY LOW
EXPRESSING CONCERNS ABOUT THE
INTEGRITY OF SPORTS WAGERING
THAT PROTECTION OF CONSUMERS
FROM SHADIA LEGAL SPORTS
WAGERING OPERATORS FTA SIX
AUTHORIZES ONLINE SPORTS
WAGERING. ON MARCH FOURTH
WAGERING RAISES MANY REGULATORY
CHALLENGES INCLUDING HOW TO
IDENTIFY PREVENT MINORS FROM
GAMBLING HOW TO IDENTIFY MISSUS
PROBLEM GAMBLERS AND HOW TO
EFFECTIVELY POLICE AGAINST
UNAUTHORIZED AT THE STATION
TRANSACTIONS WITHOUT DIRECT
INTERACTION WITH TRAINED GAMING
FACILITIES STAFF IF YOU ARE
TRULY CONCERNED ABOUT STRONG
AND EFFECTIVE SPORTS WAGERING
REGULATIONS. IN AUTHORIZED
BEING ONLINE SPORTS WAGERING
SEEMS LIKE A POOR TOWARDS THE
FTA SIX FACT SHEET CONTAINS TAX
ESTIMATES THAT APPEARED TO BE
COULD BARELY OVERESTIMATED
ESPECIALLY IN THE SCOLDED
NINETEEN ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT
WHAT CALIFORNIANS HAVE LIMITED
DISPOSAL INCOME. TAX REVENUE
GENERATED FROM THESE MEASURES
WILL HAVE NO MEANINGFUL IMPACT
ON THE. MASSIVE BUDGET DEFICIT.
WELL BREAK A MORE. FORTY DURING
HIS AUTHOR NUTRITIONAL ONLINE
WAGERING WORKS LIKE THE OF
BRICK AND MORTAR SO TO PROTECT
THEIR INVESTMENT AND CREATE
CALIFORNIA JOBS IT APPEARS THAT
ARE OUT OF STATE SPORTS WE OUT
OF STATE SPORTS WAGERING
PLATFORMS WILL BE THE BIG
WINNERS SB SIX. BECOMES LAW FOR
THESE REASONS AND MANY MORE AS
NOTED ARE OPPOSITION LETTER WE
ASK YOU CHAIRMAN DODD TO
WITHDRAW SCA SIX THANK YOU FOR
YOUR TIME. THANK YOU CHAIRMAN
GROOVY DO WE HAVE MISTER JEFF
FATHER ON THE PHONE. TELL YOUR
PRESENT OKAY. OUR MODERATOR
HE'S ACTUALLY IN THE GALLERY.
GOOD GOOD AFTERNOON CHAIRMAN%
DIED IN COMMITTEE MEMBERS MY
NAME IS JEFF BUTLER I AM A
PARTNER IN THE LAW FIRM OF
DENTON'S U. S. L. O. P. AND
REPRESENT THE YORKSHIRE D. HE
WENT TO NATION. DUE TO THE
LIMITATION OF THE NUMBER
SPEAKERS TODAY HOWEVER. I SPEAK
NOT ONLY ON BEHALF. OF YOUR
CITY. FOR MORE BROADLY FOR
VARIOUS. TRIBES THROUGHOUT
CALIFORNIA INDIAN COUNTRY. MY
FIRST ONE EXPLAIN THAT WHAT IS
CA SIX DOES IS LEGALIZE
PATENTLY ILLEGAL CONDUCT.
CARTER'S LIKE TO SAY THEIR%
GAMES ARE PERFECTLY LEGAL AND
INDEED THE SCA SIX FACT SHEET
CLAIMS THE MEASUREWOULD ALLOW
CARD ROOMS TO CONTINUE TO PLAY
THE GAMES THEY ARE CURRENTLY
AUTHORIZED TO PLAY. NEITHER
STAY IS TRUE. MOST OBVIOUS IF
CARD ROOMS ARE ALREADY
AUTHORIZED TO PLAY THOSE GAMES
NO CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
WOULD BE NEEDED. SO HOW ARE
THOSE GAMES ILLEGAL. PENAL CODE
SECTION THREE THREE ZERO
PROHIBITS BANK GAMES PLAYED
WITH CARDS. A BANK GAME HAPPENS
WHEN ONE PLAYER ACCESS BANK
TAKING ON ALL COMERS PAIN
WINTERS I COLLECTING FROM
LOSERS. THAT PROBATION HAS
EXISTED IN CALIFORNIA SINCE AT
LEAST EIGHTEEN SEVENTY TWO I
WAS RAISED TO A CONSTITUTIONAL
LEVEL IN NINETEEN EIGHTY FOUR.
WHEN THE CONSTITUTION WAS
AMENDED TO PREFER GAMES LIKE
THOSE PLAYED IN THE BOTTOM AND
TO JERSEY. AN EXAMPLE OF THESE
PROHIBIT GAMES AS A BLACKJACK
YOU WOULD SEE IN A LAS VEGAS OR
INDIAN CASINO. WHERE YOU PLAY
AGAINST THE DEALER. CALIFORNIA
LAW HAS ANOTHER MUCH NEWER
PROVISION PENAL CODE SECTION
THREE THREE ZERO POINT ONE ONE.
THIS IS A GAME IS NOT BANK. IF
THE BANKER POSITION ROTATES
CONTINUOUSLY AMONG THE PLAYERS.
THAT MEANS THOSE GAMES CAN BE
PLAYED AND CARD ROOMS IF BUT
ONLY IF THE BANKER POSITION
MOVED ALL THE TIME BETWEEN THE
PLAYERS PREVENTING ANY ONE OF
THEM. FROM ACTING AS A BANK. I
DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF YOU. I'VE
BEEN TO A LOCAL CAR ROOM BUT
THE CARD GAMES PLAYED THERE ARE
EXACTLY LIKE THOSE PLAYED IN
LAS VEGAS OR INDIAN CASINOS
THERE'S NO ROTATION OF THE
PLAYER DEALER POSITION AMONG
THE PLAYERS AT THE TABLE. AS A
PENAL CODE REQUIRES. THE PERSON
ACTING AS A BANK IN A CAR ROOMS
CALLED A THIRD PARTY
PROPOSITION PLAYER. OR PERHAPS
YOU'VE HEARD OF THE TERM TPP
WHICH IS A SHORTHAND FOR THAT.
THANK YOU MIGHT WONDER. IF THE
LAW IS THAT CLEAR. HOW DID THE
CARD ROOMS GET AROUND THE IRON
CLAD PROHIBITION. AGAINST BANK
GAINES. THE ANSWER IS THROUGH
AN INFAMOUS DOCUMENT KNOWN. AS
THE LYTLE LETTER. ROBERT LYTLE
WAS THE DIRECTOR OF THE STATE'S
BUREAU OF GAMBLING CONTROL THE
AGENCY THAT REGULATES CARBS. ON
DECEMBER TWENTY OF TWO THOUSAND
AND SEVEN LYELL WROTE TO THE
PRESIDENTS OF TWO GROUPS
LOBBYING FOR CARDS. IN THAT
LETTER LYTLE IN HIS OFFICIAL
CAPACITY SAID THE PENAL CODE
SECTION THREE THREE ZERO POINT
ONE ONE. DID NOT REQUIRE ACTUAL
ROTATION OF THE BANKER POSITION
BUT ONLY THE OFFER. OF THAT
POSITION TO THE OTHER PLAYERS
AT THE TABLE. THERE WERE TWO
PROBLEMS WITH THE LIGHT LETTER
FIRST IT CONTRADICTED THE LAW.
THE SECOND PROBLEM WAS IS
PROVIDENCE. TEN DAYS AFTER
ISSUING THE LETTER MR LYTLE
WENT TO WORK FOR A CORPORATE.
IN DECEMBER OF TWO THOUSAND
FOURTEEN THE BUREAU LINES
FORMER EMPLOYER. FILED A FORMAL
ACCUSATION AGAINST HIM ALLEGING
HE NEGOTIATED FOR THAT CARD
ROOM JOB BEFORE HE LEFT THE
BUREAU AND THEREFORE BEFORE HE
ISSUED THE LETTER. THE BUREAU
CONCLUDED THAT LYTLE ACTED AND
I'M QUOTING HERE FOR PERSONAL
GAIN AND THE GAME OF THOSE WHOM
HE CAME TO REPRESENT. THAT HE
ABANDONED THE BASIC PRINCIPLES
OF THE STATE AGENCY AND THE
GENERAL PUBLIC THAT HE SERVED.
AND THAT HE IS NOT A PERSON OF
GOOD CHARACTER. HONESTY AND
INTEGRITY. THROUGH JULY TWO
THOUSAND SIXTEEN SETTLEMENT OF
THE ACCUSATION LYTLE WAS
STRIPPED OF HIS GAME LICENSES
HE ADMITTED HE WASN'T QUALIFIED
FOR BUREAU LICENSURE AND AGREE
TO A LIFETIME BAN. IN ALSO
AGREED TO PAY A SEVENTY FIVE
THOUSAND DOLLAR FINE. NO THIS
ISN'T JUST THE TRIBES
INTERPRETATION OF THE LAW. OR
THE FACTS HERE. ON DECEMBER
THIRD OF LAST YEAR THE BUREAU
ISSUED CONCEPT REGULATORY
LANGUAGE THAT IS SPECIFICALLY
INTENDED TO FORCE THE ROTATION.
OF THE PLAYER DEALER POSITION.
EVERY TWO HANDS. LESS OBVIOUSLY
IT TOURNEY GENERAL AGREES THE
LIGHT LETTER IS WRONG ON THE
LAW. NOW LET'S TURN BACK TO SCA
SIX IN AMENDMENT NINE THE
MEASURE PROVIDES THAT
NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER
PROVISION OF STATE LAW. LAYERS
IN CAR ROOMS ARE ALLOWED TO
WAGER AGAINST EACH OTHER. WHICH
MEANS THAT HE BANKING GAME DOES
NOT INCLUDE THE SITUATION WHERE
THE PLAYER DEALER WAGERS
AGAINST THE OTHER PARTICIPANTS
PROVIDED THAT EACH PARTICIPANT
IS OFFERED THE OPPORTUNITY TO
BE THE PLAYER DEALING. STATED
MORE STARKLY SCA SIX HITS WHAT
YOU MIGHT CALL A TRY FACTOR IF
YOU'LL PARDON THE PUN. ONE
ILLEGITIMACY IS PATENTLY
ILLEGAL CONDUCT AND IN DOING SO
OVERTURNS NEARLY A HUNDRED AND
FIFTY YEARS OF PROHIBITION IN
THE PENAL CODE AGAINST BANK
GAMES AS WELL AS A
CONSTITUTIONAL BAN. ON SUCH
GAMES. TO IT WIPES OUT ATTORNEY
GENERAL BESET US CURRENT
EFFORTS TO FORCE THE CARD ROOMS
TO COMPLY WITH THE LAW THERE BY
REWARDING ENTITIES THAT HAVE
BEEN VIOLATING THE LAW FOR MANY
YEARS. AND THREE CONSTITUTIONAL
LIES'S THE LYTLE LETTERS SORTED
OFFER STANDARD. NONE OF THOSE
ACTIONS IS APPROPRIATE FOR THE
LEGISLATIVE BODY OF THIS GREAT
STATE. I WANT TO FOLLOW UP WITH
WAR HELLO FEW MORE SPECIFICS ON

OPPOSITION AT THIS TIME WILL
BRING THE DISCUSSION BACK TO
MEMBERS SO AT THESE TIMES
APPROPRIATE FOR ANY QUESTIONS
COMMENTS OR CONCERNS. SENATOR
GORGEOUS. THANK YOU. THIS IS
BEEN A BIT OF A LEARNING
EXPERIENCE FOR ME- I WOULD LIKE
TO EXPRESS MY APPRECIATION TO-
AND- SENATOR DODD AND ASSEMBLY
MEMBER GRAY- FOR THE EXTENSIVE
DISCUSSIONS THAT WE'VE HAD- IN
THE LAST- TWENTY FOUR HOURS IN
PARTICULAR- RESULTS IS A
LEARNING EXPERIENCE FOR ME. I
AM IN MY SECOND YEAR IN SENATE
BUT EVEN THOUGH THIS ISSUE HAS
CERTAINLY BEEN AROUND FOR
DECADES I HADN'T HAD OCCASION
TO FULLY APPRECIATE- THE
POSITIONS IN THE ARGUMENTS AND
THE FACTS AND HISTORY OF THIS
MATTER. BUT THINGS THAT I'VE
LOOKED ARE THAT. DRIVE IN CARD
ROOMS ARE CERTAINLY IN A
PROTRACTED BATTLE. I THINK THAT
IS THAT IS PRETTY PRETTY CLEAR
HERE. THAT THERE ARE TWO
LAWSUITS ARE UNDER WAY- THAT WE
HAVE NOT HEARD. OF THE OF THE
COURTS- RENDERING DECISIONS YET.
WHAT ALSO IS THAT WE'VE HAD
THREE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S- WHO
HAVE HAD JURISDICTION ON SOME
OF THESE ISSUES THAT HAVEN'T
PROVIDED ENOUGH CLARITY TO
RESOLVE SO THE MOST OUTSTANDING
THAT WE'VE EXPERIENCED NOW AS
AN ATTORNEY- I WOULD LIKE TO GO
TO LEARN AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE ON
THESE ISSUES AND I ALSO RELY
ON- FOLKS WHO ARE IN THE LITTLE
DEPARTMENTS TO PROVIDE. I WANT
THINGS THAT A LOT YEAR WAS POSE
A NUMBER OF QUESTIONS TO LEAD
COUNSEL. SPECIFICALLY TRY TO
UNDERSTAND. DOES THE
EXCLUSIVITY OF EXIST. DO CARD
ROOMS PRACTICE IN ENGAGING
GAMES THAT ARE IN VIOLATION OF
A CONTACT A NUMBER OF OTHERS.
WHAT I WAS SURPRISED IS THAT I
GOT ZERO RESPONSE FROM OUR
LEGAL ADVISERS IN THE WRIST IN
THE FACT THAT THERE WAS NO
RESPONSE IT WAS EXPLAINED. IT
WAS EXPLAINED AWAY. THAT
BECAUSE THIS MATTER WAS IN
LITIGATION THAT THEY WOULD NOT-
PINE OR PROVIDE INSIGHTS INTO
IT NOW FROM A LEGISLATOR
STANDPOINT I THINK THAT IS
ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE. THAT
IF WE ARE REALLY GOING ON
UNDERSTANDING AN ISSUE AND EVEN
IF ONE IS CURRENTLY IN THE
MIDST OF LITIGATION THAT WE
SHOULD NOT BE AFRAID TO GET
ANSWERS OF MARLEY BERMAN SO
THAT'S A PERSONAL GRIEVANCE ON
ON. THE OTHER ISSUE IS THIS IS
A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN POLICY.
ONE THAT I BELIEVE DESERVES A
LOT OF EXAMINATION IN A LOT OF
EXPLANATION AND A LOT OF- BOXES
GETTING CHECKED ON THE DUE
DILIGENCE THAT WOULD NORMALLY
BE EXPECTED IN A- ISSUE THIS. I
GOT THE BILL ANALYSIS YESTERDAY
EVENING. I'M STILL I'M
SCRATCHING MY HEAD HERE I'M
JUST I'M ADDING UP THE
CHALLENGES NO I UNDERSTAND THAT
COVERT IS CHANGED VIRTUALLY
EVERYTHING THE FACT THAT THERE
WERE. WEARING MASKS IN IN A
PORTION OF US ARE IN THIS ROOM-
AND WE ONLY HAVE ONE STAFFER IN
EACH OF OUR OFFICES EVERYTHING
BEING DONE REMOTELY AND
PROTESTERS FOR TWO NIGHTS IN A
ROW AND HAVE BEEN- MAKING SURE.
OF THAT. I UNDERSTAND. THINGS
WE'RE- BUT IT DOESN'T OBVIATE
THE NEED TO GET INFORMATION IN
A TIMELY FASHION SO THAT WE CAN
MAKE INFORMED- JUDGMENTS ON OR
AT LEAST ALLOW US TO GET FOLLOW
UP- EIGHT THREE SATISFIED. I
HAPPEN TO BE AN ALL IN. I
HAPPEN TO BE OF THE OPINION
THAT. NGUYEN REASONABLE ALL
COME TOGETHER EVEN IF THEY ARE
STAUNCHLY PROTECTING THEIR
JURISDICTION THEIR TERRITORY OR
THEIR REVENUE SOURCE. THAT
THERE IS A SOLUTION TO BE HAVE.
IT BAFFLES ME TO THINK THAT WE
CANNOT FIND A WAY FOR THESE
PARTIES TO COME TOGETHER
WHETHER IT BE IN A REVENUE
SHARING AGREEMENT FOR BETTER
MORE LIKE FULL UNDERSTANDING OF
WHERE THE PARTIES CAN OPERATE
FREELY. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE
THAT HAPPEN. NOW WHAT I'VE BEEN
TOLD BY CERTAIN FOLKS IN THIS
GOES BACK TO THE HE SAID SHE
SAID EXPERIENCE THAT I'VE EXT-
THAT I'VE HAD ON THIS ISSUE IT
THAT. NO THIS CONTACTED- SOME
OF THESE PEOPLE AND THEY'VE
NEVER HAD A SEAT AT THE TABLE
SOME PEOPLE ARE SAYING THAT'S
THE- AND OTHERS ARE STAYING
THAT'S ABSOLUTELY PATENTLY
FALSE. WHO DO I BELIEVE I MEAN
THIS IS LITERALLY THE IT IS
SHOWERED IN A GRAY ZONE OF
MISINFORMATION FALSE NARRATIVES
AND FALSE CHOICES FOR THAT
MATTER. I BELIEVE THE PARTIES
NEED TO COME TO THE TABLE TO
RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. AND I
UNDERSTAND THAT GIVEN CODE
WITHIN THE PROTESTS IN THE
TIMELINE OF BRINGING A BALLOT
ISSUE FOR TO FORWARD HAS LEFT
US WITH LITTLE ROOM TO
NEGOTIATE AND MANEUVER. EVEN IF
AS SOME PEOPLE HAVE SUGGESTED
APPROVE IT SO WE CAN BEGIN
NEGOTIATING THAT'S NOT REALLY
MY STYLE AND I DON'T THINK
THAT'S ENTIRELY APPROPRIATE AND
THE SOPHISTICATION THE BODY OF
THE ISSUE. BUT SHOULD THIS
BEFORE TO STAY IN SPEC INSPECT
IT WILL. ONE ONE OR TWO THINGS
THAT CAN MAKE THIS BETTER. IS
THAT WE REFINE THE FARM THAT
THE FUNDING FOR BECAUSE RIGHT
NOW IT'S GOING TO GO INTO A
GENERAL FUND A WELFARE FUND- TO
BE GONE AFTER BY A VARIETY OF
FOLKS AS THE SEARCH COMING IN.
I THINK WE'LL BE BETTER SERVED
IF WE FORCE AND ARTICULATION OF
WHAT OR THE OR THE RECIPIENT
AREAS OF CALIFORNIA. CATION
HIGHER IN PRIMARY HEALTH CARE
SERVICES I BELIEVE THAT IT
WOULD BE BETTER AND MORE
BENEFICIAL TO CALIFORNIANS IF
WE KNEW WHERE THIS FUN MONEY
WAS GOING TO GO AND LET'S NOT
KID OURSELVES WE TALK ABOUT
KOBE NINETEEN- YOU KNOW IT
SHOWING US THAT WE'RE GOING TO
BE IN IN THE RED FOR A
SIGNIFICANT TIME AHEAD. THE
ESTIMATIONS OF FOR HUNDRED
MILLION. IS THE FACT THAT WERE
FIFTY FOUR BILLION IN THE RED
SO CAN THIS BE HELPFUL YES.
WILL THIS CHANGE OUR ECONOMIC
OUTLOOK. PROBABLY NOT THIS IS
ONE OF MANY SERIOUS DISCUSSIONS
A WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE
AS A BODY ON WHAT OUR NEEDS ARE
VERSES ARE WANTS WHAT OUR
PRIORITIES AS CALIFORNIA
LEGISLATORS- IT. ALSO WE MOVE
FORWARD AS A STATE ALL. MY
CONCERN IS THAT IS THIS MOVES
FORWARD WE TALKED ABOUT MAKING
THIS ACTIVATED IN JANUARY OF
TWENTY TWENTY WITH ALL THE
REGULATIONS- THAT WOULD GO
ALONG BEHIND IT PROBABLY
LOOKING AT ANOTHER YEAR THERE
AFTER. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE
TRIBES ARE GOING TO TAKE THIS
TO COURT IN THIS WILL BE STUCK
IN LITIGATION FOR SIGNIFICANT
PERIOD OF TIME. SO ONE OF
COMBINATIONS THAT I WOULD HAVE
IS THAT IF THIS DOESN'T PASS
FORWARD TODAY OR DOES IT PASSED
THE SENATE WERE THE ENTIRE
PROCESS. THAT WE IMMEDIATELY
READMISSION EIGHT. A FULL IN
COMPREHENSIVE DISCUSSION WITH
THE STAKEHOLDERS SO NO ONE CAN
EVER SAY THAT THEY WEREN'T AT
THE TABLE. ALSO THIS IDEA THAT
THAT THE ONLINE GAMING. IS NOT
GOING TO COME TO CALIFORNIA I
THINK. I THINK IT WILL BE
COMING TO CALIFORNIA WHETHER
IT'S TODAY OR OR A YEAR FROM
NOW. IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN
BECAUSE IT IS VIRTUALLY
INEVITABLE. NOW HOW WE GO ABOUT
CREATING A REVENUE SHARING
AGREEMENT THAT LOOKS AFTER THE
INTERESTS OF CALIFORNIA AS WELL
AS THE EXISTING STAKEHOLDERS-
SOME OF WHICH HAD MAYBE
INVESTED IN MAJOR CAPITAL
EXPANSION INFRASTRUCTURES. WITH
THE EXPECTATION OF REVENUES
BEING ON A MORE EXCLUSIVE BASIS.
WITH THAT BEING SAID I WOULD
LOVE TO HEAR FROM ANY ONE OF MY
COLLEAGUES THAT HAS MORE
EXPERIENCE IN DEALING WITH
TRIBES IN CARD ROOMS IN PONIES-
I MYSELF REPRESENTING ALL OR
PARTS OF ELEVEN COUNTIES HAVE
HEARD FROM FOLKS IN THE PONIES-
CARD ROOMS- FROM THE FAIR
BOARDS AND FROM THE TRIBES AND
I PRESENTED. THEM BUT I. ONLY
IF THERE IS A PATH FORWARD.
ENTER IN PRESUME LOSERS- WITH
THE WAY IT EXISTS RIGHT NOW
THANK YOU. THANK YOU CENTER
PORCHES. OR ANY OTHER MY EX
RAISED. SIR WIENER. THANK YOU
SERVICE I WANT TO THANK
CHAIRMAN DOG FOR HIS LEADERSHIP
IN GERMAN GRAY AS WELL- THESE
ARE LONG FESTERING IN USE AND-
TAKES LEADERSHIP AND BEING-
WILLING TO HAVE THE SLINGS AND
ARROWS COME OUT HERE TO TAKE ON
AND TRY TO. ATTEMPT TO BROKER
RESOLUTION ON SOME HARD IS. AND
THIS ONE- IT ADDRESSES TO I I'M
NOT AN EXPERT ON GAMBLING BUT I
KNOW ENOUGH. TO KNOW THAT THE
TRIED CARD ROOM BRAWL- AND THE
ISSUE WITH SPORTS BETTING
DISTURBANCES FLOATING AROUND
FOR AWHILE AND ARE NOT BEING
ADDRESSED THIS IS A GOOD FAITH
EFFORT TO ADDRESS SOME. I'LL BE
SUPPORTING THIS TODAY- I WON A
SECOND ON COLLEAGUES SAY MAN
AND I KNOW THE AUTHORS ARE
COMMITTED TO THIS TO BRING THE
PART TO BE ABLE. NOTHING THOSE
ARE FEW GREATER IN CENTER TO
COME THE- AFTER COMES OF
COMMITTEE. IT BECOMES VERY REAL
AT THAT POINT AND I'M CONFIDENT
THE AUTHORS PARTY CHAIRMAN
WILL. WILL BRING THE TRIBES
CARTONS EVERYONE ELSE THE
TABLE. TO TRY TO WORK THROUGH
THIS OF COURSE WE NEED TO TWO
THIRDS VOTE. ON THE FLOOR- I
KNOW FROM FIRSTHAND EXPERIENCE
IT'S HARD. BUT I HAVE
CONFIDENCE IN THESE AUTHORS SO
I WILL BE SUPPORTING THIS TODAY
THANK YOU. THANK YOU SIR
SENATOR GALGIANI. THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIR I HAVE TWO
QUESTIONS FOR THE AUTHOR- I
HAVE CONCERNS OF WANTING TO
ENSURE THE HEALTH AND THE
FINANCIAL WELL BEING OF OUR
TRIBAL CASINOS THEIR BRICK AND
MORTAR FACILITIES AND IT WAS
MENTIONED EARLIER THAT WE HAVE
ABOUT NINE BILLION DOLLARS
WORTH OF WAGES THAT BIT PLATE
HAVE BEEN PAID TO EMPLOYEES AND
ONE. AND NOT. I TO VIEW AND
ADDRESS TO THE STATE TO EMPLOY
SUCH A LARGE NUMBER OF
CALIFORNIANS AND CREATE JOBS
FOR THOSE INDIVIDUALS I WANT TO
ENSURE THE HEALTH OF THAT- MY
QUESTION TO YOU IS I JUST WOULD
LIKE YOU TO VERIFY FOR ME WITH
TO THE ONLINE WAGERING AND THE
ROLE OF THE TRIBES. I
UNDERSTAND TO THIS BILL THAT
THE SPORTS BETTING WOULD BE
ALLOWED ON SITE. AND ONLINE BY
THE TRIBES AND ALSO. WITH HORSE
RACING. AND CAN YOU JUST
CLARIFY FOR US AND THE PEOPLE
BETWEEN THE TRIBES AND THEIR
ONLINE AND THEY'RE ON SITE
WAGERING AND THE HOW THAT
LICENSING ARRANGEMENT WILL WORK.
THE THANK YOU SENATOR- THROUGH
THE CHAIR- YOU'VE GOT A RIGHT
THEY WILL HAVE THE ABILITY DO
ONLINE AND THEY'LL HAVE THE
ABILITY TO- OBVIOUSLY DO BRICKS
AND MORTARS IN FACT BECAUSE
FURTHER IN THE IN THE TRIBAL
INITIATIVE WHICH- YOU ONLY BUT
FOR THE- CLOVER NINETEEN
SITUATION WHAT A QUALIFIED IN
THE OF MY ESTIMATION. THE OVER
THE NUMBER OF SIGNATURES- IN
THERE ARE- INITIATIVE- THEY-
YOUR GAVE THE RIGHTS TO HORSE
RACING AND THEMSELVES FOR
SPORTS BETTING AT BRICKS AND
MORTAR WHAT WE DO IN OURS IS.
SINCE SINCE ALL THE LINE IS 80%
OF THE TOTAL BETTING MAYBE EVEN
AS MUCH AS 85% WE HAVE TO
INCLUDE. YOUR LIFE SO WE GAVE
THE SAME BETTER THE FOR THE
SAME TO THE TRIBES IN THE HORSE
RACING WITH THE FOR THE TRIBES
TO BE ABLE TO. LICENSE OTHER
INTO THESE OUT AT. I BELIEVE
THEIR DISCRETION CHAIRMAN DO
YOU HAVE. I'LL JUST ADD TO THAT
THAT. THAT'S ACCURATE 85290% OF
SPORTS WAGERING REVENUE IN THE
TWENTY TWO OTHER STATES TO DO
THIS IS DERIVED FROM ONLINE.
WHICH WAY DURING TRIBAL
GOVERNMENTS WOULD HAVE THE
OPTION YOU BOTH HAVE A BRICK
AND MORTAR SPORTS BOOK- MUCH
LIKE YOU MAY HAVE SEEN IF
YOU'VE EVER TRAVELED TO CASINO
IN LAS VEGAS- NEW JERSEY ROUSE
WHERE AS WELL AS THE
OPPORTUNITY TO OFFER THAT
PRODUCT. ONLINE AS WELL SO
HORSE RACING- LICENSE FOR
TRICKS IT WOULD ALSO HAVE THAT
OPPORTUNITY TO OFFER THAT
ONLINE AND I MIGHT ADD IN A IN
RESPONSE OF THE COMMENTS THAT.
IF ANYONE'S GOING TO SUGGEST.
THIS IS A BRAND NEW TOPIC. THAT
THEY JUST READ ABOUT LAST
NIGHT. THEY'VE EITHER BEEN
ASLEEP. OR NOT DOING THEIR JOB
HERE AT THE LEGISLATURE WE HAD
A MULTI HOUR. JOINT
INFORMATIONAL HEARING ON THE
TOP TWO SPORTS WAGER WITH TONS
OF LEGAL ANALYSIS FROM- FROM
TRIBAL GOVERNMENTS FROM CARD
CLUBS AND OTHER. STAKEHOLDERS
IN THE INDUSTRY WE'VE SPENT
HUNDREDS OF HOURS LITERALLY
MEETING WITH STAKEHOLDERS
ACROSS THE BOARD WE'VE DONE
THAT OVER THE COURSE OF THE
LAST FOUR YEARS READ A TOUGH
POINT. IN THE ROAD RIGHT NOW
WITH- FOLKS HAVING OPPOSING
IDEAS AND POSITIONS AND
HOPEFULLY AND I THINK SOME OF
THE CENTERS FOR YOUR COMMENTS-
WE WILL BE ABLE TO FIND THAT
COMPROMISE BUT DOES THAT ANSWER
QUESTIONS. YES IT DOES THANK
YOU AND MY SECOND QUESTION IS
RELATED TO HORSE RACING AND THE
FAIRS IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA AS WE ALL KNOW OUR
AFFAIRS HAVE BEEN STRUGGLING
FOR SOME TIME AND PARTICULARLY
WITH THE CROWN OF VIRUS
EPIDEMIC THAT WE'RE ALL AND
NOW. SO MY QUESTION IS EVEN
THOUGH IT'S VERY SPECIFIC IN
THE ANALYSIS THAT THE SPORT
WHICH ALLOWED REYES TRY ALAMY
M. MáS ANGELES ORANGE OR SAN
DIEGO COUNTIES. WELL IT CAN
TAKE DISCUSSIONS. WHAT A HORSE
USING INDUSTRY AND THE- TO
ENSURE THAT THERE COULD BE A
FOR SO BENEFIT THE FAIRS THAT
ARE NOT SPECIFICALLY LISTED
HERE. AS AS THE CHAIRMAN-
GRAVES IS SAID WERE WILLING TO
HAVE THESE DISCUSSIONS WITH
EVERYBODY I MIGHT POINT OUT.
THAT FOR EVERY NEW LICENSE SEE
THAT YOU HAVE. YOU ALSO HAVE
THE PERHAPS OPPOSITION- FROM
THE TO FROM THE TRIBE SO WE
WANT TO BE VERY VERY CAREFUL
THAT WE DON'T CONTINUE TO ADD
OFTEN A CAUSE FURTHER ACHES SO
IT'S GOING TO BE A DELICATE-
DANCE. BUT WE DO HAVE SOME
IDEAS OF HOW THAT POSSIBLY
COULD WORK WE TALKED TO SOME OF
THE FAIR REPRESENTATIVES I AM
VERY REASONABLE AND EVERY
CLASS. THIS DOWN IT SAYS IT
WILL BE DOING LIKE YEAH. FROM
MY TO THAT I KNOW YOU'RE FROM
WITH THE LEGISLATION THAT I
WORKED FOR SEVERAL YEARS RIGHT
HERE AB FOURTEEN NINETY NINE
YES I AM WHICH- TAKES A PORTION
OF THE SALES TAX REVENUE SPENT
AT FAIR GROUNDS AND GIVES IT
BACK TO FAIR GROUNDS- FARES ARE
NEAR AND DEAR TO MY HEART. AS
YOU KNOW A GIRL. CULTURAL
COMMUNITY. I THINK I AM WELL I
KNOW I AM VERY CONCERNED. COM
WE NEED TO RE ALIGN THE STATE'S
RELATIONSHIP WITH FAIRS GOING
FORWARD- AS A PART OF OUR
BUDGET CUTS COMING UP HERE
MEMBERS AND I THINK PART OF
THIS DISCUSSION AROUND THIS
ISSUE WHETHER IT'S CERTAIN FAIR
FACILITIES HAVING BASINS SPORTS
WAITER SODAS OR WHETHER IT'S
SHIP FAIRS SHARING IN SOME
REVENUE. DERIVED FROM THE
ACTIVITY AT A LIKE IF YOU WERE-
BACK IN THE NINETEEN NINETIES
LEOPARD OR TWO THOUSAND WHEN WE
HAD- THE FAIR SHARE THE HORSE
RACING REVENUE- AT ONE TIME AND
THEN THAT WAS TAKEN OUT THE BAD
BUDGET YEAR. RECESSION THERE IS
THAT WHAT. HERE'S ONE WE'VE NOW
SOME FIVE AND DO THE CO CRIES
THE GOVERNOR'S LOOKING AND
REALIZING THAT RELATIONSHIPS SO
I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT TO BRING
UP THE ISSUE I THINK THIS IS A
KEY AVENUE THAT WE CAN ADDRESS
THAT SOMEONE RESPECT DOT COM
WHICH IS YOU KNOW EVERY THIS IS
ALL GIVEN TECH AND EVERYONE
THAT. A LOT. TAKE FROM SOME
ELSE AND THAT'S WE FOR THE
TABLE AND YOUR DECISION TO MOVE
THIS BILL FORWARD TODAY. GIVES
US AN OPPORTUNITY. SURE THAT
EVEN THOSE THAT HAVE WALKED
AWAY FROM THE TABLE CAN COME
BACK. THANK YOU. CENTER BRAD.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR AND I
WANT TO THANK BOTH AUTHOR
SENATOR DODD AND CHAIRMAN- GRAY
FOR THIS MEASURE AS I HAVE
LISTENED- THIS IS NOT A NEW
ISSUE FOR THE LEGISLATURE- AND
BY. WE NOW HAVE NINE YEARS OF
BEING HERE THIS IS A ISSUE THAT
HAS BEEN A WIDELY DISCUSSED AND
DEBATED MY PREDECESSOR SENATOR
ROD RIGHT EVEN MADE A VALIANT
EFFORT AT. MOVING THIS ISSUE
FORWARD IN TWO THOUSAND TWELVE
MADE TO ISSUE THAT. AFTER STUDY
LONG AYE AYE SIGNAL LOSERS
HERE. I SEE WINNERS. WINNERS ON
BOTH SIDES. FIRST AND FOREMOST
WE'RE ALLOWING IF THERE'S LIKE
AN EXPANSION OF GAMING. THAT
EXPANSION IS BEING AFFORDED OUR
NATIVE AMERICAN BROTHERS AND
SISTERS. CENTER BRADFORD HI CAN
I ASK YOU TO PUT PUT ON YOUR
MASK AND ALL OTHER MEMBERS TO
PUT THEIR MASS ON I'M SORRY TO
INTERRUPT YOU CARRYING ON
BUSINESS AND I WAS IS THAT YOUR
GET YOUR GET YOUR GOING TO GET
ON A ROLL YEAH THIS IS NOT
IDEAL I KNOW SPACE I TOTALLY
UNDERSTAND. THANK YOU SO MUCH
WE APPRECIATE IT. BUT AGAIN IF
THERE IS AN EXPANSION OF GAMING
I THINK THAT EXPANSION HAS BEEN
AFFORDED TO. OUR NATIVE
AMERICAN BROTHERS AND SISTERS
BY FORTY NAY ON THAT ADD
ADDITIONAL NEW GAMES AS WELL AS
SPORTS WAGERING WHAT IS CARD
ROOMS GET GAME AND THERE'S
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. THEY'RE
BEING AFFORDED TO PLAY A GAME
THAT THEY'VE BEEN PLAYING FOR
TWENTY YEARS. NOTHING NEW
THEY'RE NOT EXPANDING ANYTHING
THAT THEY HAVE HAVING ALREADY
BEEN DOING. AND AS AN
INDIVIDUAL WHO GREW UP IN THE
CITY OF GARDENA AS A CHILD WE
HAD SIX CARD ROOMS WHEN HOUSING
AT A GROWN UP IN GUARDIAN. WE
PAID FULL SUPPORT NO TO ROBERT
TAX. AND ADDITIONAL OTHER.
OPERA AT THE CAR ROOMS PROVIDED
OUTSIDE OF- TAX REVENUE FOR THE
CITY AND- MAJOR EMPLOYMENT AS
WELL TODAY GUARDINO HAS TWO
CLUBS. TO AND- IT'S DUE TO THE
EXPANSION OF NOT ONLY LAS VEGAS
AS WELL AS OUR NATIVE AMERICAN
BROTHERS AND SISTERS WE ARE NOW
DOWN TO TWO. BUT WE HAVE FOUND
A WAY TO SURVIVE I HAVE FOR
COURT ROOMS IN MY DISTRICT. ONE
IN THE CITY OF INGLEWOOD. AND
ONE IN THE CITY OF CARSON. AND
FOR ALL OF US WHO HAVE GONE THE
LAS VEGAS I'M PRETTY SURE
YOU'VE ALL HEARD OF PRIMA
DONNA. WELL BERNIE BROWN AGE
PRIMA DONNA. HE STARTED IN
GARDENA. THE GUARD THE CAR.
SIXTIES EARLY SEVENTIES HE LEFT
TO THE CONVENTION OPPORTUNITIES
AND LAS VEGAS HE SET HIS
OPERATION RIGHT THERE ON THE
BORDER OF A CALIFORNIA NEVADA
SO. AGAIN CAR ROOMS IF ANYONE
HAS SUFFERED ITS I MEAN IF
ANYONE HAS SUFFERED OVER THE
LAST TWENTY THIRTY YEARS IT'S
THE CARD ROOMS AND WE'VE HAD.
MEMBERS ATTORNEY GENERAL'S WHO
HAVE LOOKED AT THIS ISSUE AND
AS MY COLLEAGUE FROM FRESNO
STATED THE REASON THEY HAVE NOT
RULED. ON IT IS BECAUSE IT'S A
GRAY AREA DRESS BUT- PROP ONE
EIGHTY DID NOT GIVE NATIVE
AMERICANS EXCLUSIVITY. WHEN IT
CAME TO CAR A GALE MEXICAN
SEVENTY. WHEN IT CAME THE SLOT
MACHINES AND THERE'S NOT A
SINGLE CARD ROOM IN THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA WHO WOULDN'T WANT
A SLOT MACHINE IN THEIR
FACILITY BUT NOT A SINGLE ONE
IS LOOKING FOR THAT. NOT A
SINGLE ONE IS ASKING FOR THAT
ALL THEY'RE ASKING TO DO IS A
FORTY ON THE OPPORTUNITY. THE
CAN CONTINUE TO PLAY A GAME
THAT THEY HAVE PLAYED. WHAT
OUT. MUCH PROBLEMS OF THE LAST
TWENTY YEARS WITHOUT MUCH.
LEGAL ACTIVITY YOU HAVE ME DO
WE CAN POINT TO LEGAL ACTIVITY
IN ALMOST ANYTHING THAT WE DO
FROM. LEGALIZE SPORTS TO
WHATEVER THERE'S- AZ MRS GOALS
ON BUT- I KNOW AGAIN I HAD SIX
CAR ROOMS IN MY CITY I HAVE TO
NOW NOT ONLY HAD ANY PROBLEMS
WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT. AND
CONTINENT INGLEWOOD NOT. ISSUES
TWENTY LEGAL GAMES PEOPLE BEING
TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF. AND I SEE
HERE IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO
ALLOW OUR NATIVE AMERICAN
BROTHERS AND SISTERS TO EXPAND
THAT WHICH THEY ARE DOING
THAT'S WHAT THEY HAVE DONE
QUITE WELL OVER THE LAST TWENTY
YEARS AGAIN AS A MEMBER
GUARDINO CITY COUNCIL TWENTY
YEARS AGO WHEN THIS ISSUE WAS
ON THE BALLOT I STOOD OUT AS
THE LONE MEMBERS CITY COUNCIL
AND SUPPORTING THE RIGHTS FOR
IT NATIVE AMERICAN COMPACTS I
STILL WITH THE MAN. DESPITE THE
PERSONS THAT I GOT FROM MY CAR
OWNERS ARE MY COLLEAGUES ON THE
COUNCIL AND I STAND WITH- NOW
BUT I ASKED US TO STAND IN
UNITY SPACE IN LIGHT OF COLD
IT. THE LIGHT OF THE RACISM
THAT IS HAPPENING IN THIS STATE
AND IN ITS MASON THIS IS A
COMMON SENSE MEASURE ALVY
SUBORDINATE TODAY. MISTER
BRADFORD. CENTER GLAZER. THANK
YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS
I CERTAINLY JOIN IN- THE PRAISE
OF THE AUTHORS OF THIS MEASURE
A SENATOR GUIDED SELLING MEMBER
GRAY I HAD THE PLEASURE OF
WORKING WITH SENATOR DOT FOR
MANY YEARS HE'S A MAN OF GREAT
INTEGRITY LEADERSHIP AND TO
TAKE ON AN ISSUE LIKE THIS
SPEAKS TO- THE EXPERTISE THAT
HE HAS GAINED THE COURAGE THAT
HE AND FOUR TO TWO THIRTY HAS
WE KNOW HOW HARD AN ISSUE LIKE
THIS IS AND IS DESERVING OF
GREAT. PRAISE FOR HIS
LEADERSHIP. I HAVE HAD A VERY
SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP- WITH THE
INDIAN COMMUNITY GOING BACK
TWENTY TWO YEARS. AND THAT
RELATIONSHIP HAS ALLOWED ME TO
GET TO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND. A
LEADERSHIP IT'S THERE TODAY BUT
MOST IMPORTANTLY THE HISTORY
THE HISTORY OF THE INDIANS.
HERE IN OUR STATE. AND IT'S AN
UGLY HISTORY. NOW I KNOW THAT'S
NOT THE PURPOSE OF THE ISSUE
BEFORE US TODAY BUT IT'S WORTH
AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO REFLECT
UPON. THAT HISTORY AND IT COMES
AT A TIME WHERE WE HAVE OUR OWN
PANDEMIC BUT FOR THE NATIVE
AMERICAN COMMUNITY DISEASE
BROUGHT IN FROM THE OUTSIDE WAS
IS CERTAINLY A KILLER OF.
THOUSANDS THEY HAD WARS THEY
HAD MASSACRES MASSACRES BY THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA. LED BY
LEADERS OF OUR STATE. PUT OUT
BOUNTIES. BUT THE SCALLOPS OF
INDIANS PART OF OUR UGLY
HISTORY AS A STATE. AND THEN OF
COURSE THEY WERE PUT ON
RESERVATIONS. AND THEN NOT TOO
FAR AFTER THAT THEY WERE KICKED
OFF RESERVATIONS. AND FINALLY
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LAST
CENTURY. THEY WERE TOLD TO
REESTABLISH RESERVATIONS TO
JUSTIFY RESERVATIONS AND WHERE
DID THEY PUT THEM. THEY PUT
THEM IN THE UNDESIRABLE PARTS
OF OUR STATE. NEXT THE GARBAGE
STOPS. FAR AWAY FROM CITIES ON
LAND THAT WAS SO DESOLATE HE
COULDN'T EVEN GROW CROPS THAT'S
WHAT WE DID. THAT'S WHAT OUR
GOVERNMENT DID. AND ALL THE
RECEIPT WAS PALTRY HELP. FROM
OUR FEDERAL LEADERS ANIMALS
NOTHING FROM THE STATE AND SO
WHAT HAPPENED. DOOR INDIAN
BROTHERS AND SISTERS. MASSIVE
POVERTY. MASSIVE UNEMPLOYMENT.
NOW IN THE. END OF THE LAST
CENTURY. NAY START ENTERPRISES
ON THEIR LAND. GAMING
ENTERPRISES OF COURSE WHAT
HAPPENED. FEDERAL RAIDS FEDERAL
PROSECUTION ACCUSATIONS THAT
THEY WERE ACTING ILLEGALLY.
TRYING TO MAKE A LIVING ON
THEIR LAND AND THEY FACED
ANOTHER. PERSECUTE FORM OF
PERSECUTION. ATTACK THAT THEIR
GAMES WERE LEGAL UNDER THE
STATE CONSTITUTION. I HAD THE
OPPORTUNITY IN NINETEEN NINETY
EIGHT. TO WORK WITH THEM
INTIMATELY ON THIS PROBLEM. AND
WAS PLEASED TO JOIN WITH THEM
IN PUTTING FORTH TO THE PEOPLE
OF CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION FIVE
TO LEGALIZE THOSE GAMES.
BECAUSE OF THE LEGAL CHALLENGES
AFTER THE PASSAGE THAT MEASURE.
THEY HAD TO COME BACK TWO YEARS
LATER FOR PROPOSITION ONE A THE
PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA SETTLED
THIS DISPUTE FIND GAINES. WE
THOUGHT. AND THAT SETTLEMENT
ALLOWED THE TRIBES. TO BEGIN TO
CREATE PROSPERITY FOR THEIR
MEMBERS. NOT FOR ALL TRIBES FOR
MANY TRIBES IN THE STATE OVER A
HUNDRED MANY OF THEM DON'T EVEN
HAVE THAT THE ADVANTAGES OF
GAMING TO IMPROVE THEIR
SITUATION. SO I HAVE THE
SPECIAL APPRECIATION FOR THIS
HISTORY AND I KNOW IT'S NOT
BEFORE US BUT IT'S AN IMPORTANT
THAT IT BE SAID ON THIS FLOOR.
THERE ARE TWO KEY ISSUES WHEN I
LOOK AT LEGISLATION THAT WE'RE
FACING TODAY. THAT ARE MOST
IMPORTANT TO ME. NUMBER ONE IT
PROTECTS THE SOVEREIGNTY OF THE
TRIBES THEIR TRIBAL GOVERNMENTS
AS AT THE SAME AS CALIFORNIA
THEY DESERVE TO BE DEALT WITH
RESERVE WITH RESPECT. AND
NOTHING THAT WE SHOULD DO
SHOULD UNDERCUT. THAT ISSUE OF
SOVEREIGNTY. AND THE SECOND
STANDARD THAT I USE IN
EVALUATING BILLS LIKE THIS
TODAY IF THEIR ECONOMIC
SECURITY. WHAT PROP FIVE IN
PROP ONE EIGHT DID WAS GIVE
MANY OF THEM NOT ALL SOME LEVEL
OF ECONOMIC SECURITY BY
CREATING A FRANCHISE OF GAMING.
BUT COULDN'T BE REPLICATED IN
OTHER PARTS OF THE STATE SO
THEY COULD PROSPER. AND THEY
HAVE PROSPERED. AND SO WHEN I
LOOK AT LEGISLATION. THAT WE
HAVE TODAY THOSE TWO OR THAT
THE TWO STANDARDS THAT I
EXAMINE CAREFULLY. AND WHEN I
LOOK AT THIS BILL. I DON'T
THINK IT PROTECTS THE FRANCHISE
OF THE TRIBE. I THINK THAT IT
ALLOWS FOR AN EXPANSION THAT
CAN POTENTIALLY ROAD THE
ECONOMIC SECURITY. OF THE
TRIBES. AND THAT TROUBLES ME
GREATLY. NOW IT DOES NOT MEAN
THAT I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE
CARD ROOMS OR THE RACE TRACKS I
HAVE CARD ROOMS IN MY DISTRICT
I HAVE A RACETRACK IN MY
DISTRICT. I AM SENSITIVE TO THE
IMPORTANT ECONOMIC
OPPORTUNITIES THAT THOSE
ENTERPRISES HAVE IN THEIR LOCAL
COMMUNITIES. I AM SENSITIVE TO
THE JOBS THAT HAVE BEEN CREATED
GOOD JOBS. AND WHAT THAT MEANS
FOR MANY PEOPLE IN OUR
COMMUNITIES. BUT WHEN I LOOK AT
THIS PIECE OF LEGISLATION
BEFORE US. IN ITS CURRENT FORM.
IT DOES NOT PROTECT THE
ECONOMIC SECURITY OF THE TRIBES.
THE INTERNET THE EXPANSION OF
GAMING ON THE INTERNET THROUGH
SPORTS BETTING HAS THE
POTENTIAL TO A ROAD THAT
FRANCHISE. AND IT- AS I SAID
TROUBLES ME I DO BELIEVE I
THINK THE SENATOR FROM THE
CENTRAL VALLEY SAID IT'S
EARLIER I DO BELIEVE THERE CAN
BE A COMPROMISE HERE. THAT
PROVIDES FOR SECURITY. THE CARD
CLUBS IN THE RACETRACKS BUT
DOES IN A ROW THE ECONOMIC
SECURITY. OF THE TRIBES AND
THAT'S WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE.
AND I CERTAINLY. SHARE THE
SENTIMENTS THAT FULL
CONSULTATION. IS A REQUIREMENT.
SO FOR ME THIS BILL DOESN'T
STRIKE THE RIGHT BALANCE I
STILL RESPECT THE AUTHOR I
EXPECT RESPECT HIS LEADERSHIP I
THINK HE CAN GET US TO A BETTER
PLACE BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE
BILL BEFORE US. IS NOT THAT
PLACE. THANK YOU SENATOR GLAZER.
I SEE NO OTHER MIKE'S UP SO.
CALL CENTER ARCHULETA I'M SORRY.
YOU MAY PROCEED. THANK YOU
MISTER. I CONCUR WITH SENATOR
BRADFORD I THINK YOUR
PRESENTATION WAS OUTSTANDING
GOING BACK TO YOUR YOUTH SEE IN
SOMETHING. AS PROSPEROUS FOR
THE COMMUNITY SHRINK DOWN THE
TWO CASINOS IN OUR JUST THIRTY
SECONDS SENATE DISTRICT WE HAVE
THE CITY OF COMMERCE AND THEY
HAVE THE CASINO THERE AND
HAWAIIAN GARDENS THERE BECAUSE
THEIR CASINO THERE AND- JUST
ACROSS THE ROAD FROM MY THIRTY
SECOND SENATE-DISTRICT. WE HAVE
THE BICYCLE CLUB. THOUSANDS
UPON THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE IN
THOSE THREE CASINOS PROVIDE FOR
THEIR FAMILIES IT IS VITAL THAT
THEY CONTINUE TO DO BUSINESS.
NOW BECAUSE THE CORONA VIRUS
THEIR SHUT DOWN I HAD THE
OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT THE
COMMERCE CASINO JUST A FEW DAYS
AGO. AND OBVIOUSLY THEY'RE
TRYING TO DO WHATEVER THEY CAN.
TO CREATE A SEPARATE
OPPORTUNITY SOME WAY SOMEHOW TO
BE ABLE TO GO TO WORK AND
EVERYTHING ELSE BUT IT'S JUST
NOT GONNA HAPPEN. JUST NOW SO
THEY'RE ALL GOING TO HAVE TO
INTO WE OPEN THE DOORS FOR
EVERYONE. THAT WE KNOW. BUT
THIS BILL AND I THANK YOU
SENATOR DODD. THAT THE TIME AND
EFFORT TO DO AN ASSEMBLY MEMBER
PUT TOGETHER. TO FIND AT THAT
EQUAL I GUESS WE'LL CALL THIS
THE EQUAL OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL.
THE TRIBESMEN I'VE BEEN TO THE
TO THE TRIBES I'VE SEEN WHAT
THEY'RE DOING. WITH THEIR
COMMUNITIES THERE SO I SEE THIS
BILL IS A MUCH AS A COMPROMISE
WERE GOING TO SEE. BECAUSE OF
THE FACT THAT THE MULTITUDE OF
YEARS THAT SOME OF YOU HAVE
BEEN IN THE SENATE YOU'VE SEEN
THE FIGHT. BUT NOW THE FIGHT IS
OVER I THINK IT'S TIME TO
UNITE. WITH WHEN YOU LOOK AT
THE BILL. HOW THE CARD CLUBS
ARE JUST GOING TO HANG IN THERE
AND THAT'S ALL THEY'RE DOING
IS. THEY'RE NOT GETTING
ANYTHING THERE'S NOTHING IN
THIS BILL. WITH ADDING TO THEIR
REVENUE IT IS NOTHING THIS
ADDING TO THEIR TOLD ME TO
THEIR OPERA. IT BE ABLE.
EVERYTHING IN. IS GO TO HELP HI
JIM THIS IS WHAT I'M SO EXCITED
ABOUT. BECAUSE NOW WE CAN SEE
THAT SOMEONE COULD CONTINUE TO
WORK AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE
ABLE TO EXPAND THEIR HORIZONS.
AND BUILD THEIR COMMUNITIES
THAT THEY SO DESPERATELY NEED-
AROUND THE THAT THE AREAS OF
THE TRIBES. SO I I'M I'M GOING
TO SUPPORT IT I THANK YOU
SENATORDODD AND- ADAM GRAY FOR
WHAT YOU'VE DONE AND EVERYONE
HERE. THINK ABOUT WHAT THIS IS
IT THIS IS HISTORY AND WE'RE SO
PROUD I'M SO PROUD THAT WE'RE
FACING THIS THE BEST WAY TO
KEEP GOING IS THE PAST. THE
BILL AND I THANK YOU. THANK YOU
CENTER ARCHULETA CENTER ALLEN

CENTER PORTANTINO THANK YOU ARE
MISTER CHAIR AND MEMBERS I
APPRECIATE THE CONVERSATION
THAT'S HAPPENED TODAY- I AM
GOING TO SUPPORT THE
LEGISLATION TODAY AND ENCOURAGE
EVERYONE TO CONTINUE TALKING

EACH OTHER WE MAKE BETTER
PUBLIC POLICY AND OBVIOUSLY THE
NEXT STOP FOR THE BILL WILL BE
THE APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE
AND I WELCOME THE CONTINUED
COOPERATION OF THE TWO CHAIRS
AND ALL OF THE PARTICIPANTS IF
IT GETS OFF THE FLOOR TODAY SO
I LOOK FOR THAT CONVERSATION.
THANK YOU CHAIRMAN PORTANTINO.
SEEING NO OTHER MIKE SET UP
CENTER GOD WOULD YOU CARE TO
CLOSE I YES I WOULD FIRST I'D
LIKE TO- SPEAK TO SENATOR
GLAZERS COMMENTS FIRST OF ALL I
AGREE WITH THE TWO STANDARDS
THAT YOU SET FOR. I THINK THOSE
ARE VERY VERY THOUGHTFUL AND I
DON'T THINK ANYBODY THAT GOES
UP ON THIS BILL TODAY. WOULD
DISAGREE WITH YOUR ASSESSMENT
THAT THOSE TWO STANDARDS ARE
INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT TO MOVING
THIS BILL FORWARD AND YOU'VE
GOT MY COMMITMENT. TO WORK WITH
YOU- ILL ON THAT IF THIS BILL-
GETS OUT TODAY- AS I SAID IN MY
OPENING COMMITMENT TO THE
TRIBAL GOVERNMENTS TO IS TO NOT
MOVE THIS BILL. ON THE FLOOR
UNTIL WE'VE HAD THOSE
SUBSTANTIVE. GOOD FAITH
NEGOTIATIONS. AIMS RESOLVE YOUR
COMMENTS- SENATOR I WILL COMMIT
TO INCLUDING YOU IN THOSE
DISCUSSIONS AND I WILL NOT
BRING THIS BILL ON THE FLOOR
UNTIL YOU FEEL THE CONCERNS.
HAVE BEEN ADEQUATELY ADDRESSED.
I ALSO WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT TO
THANK ALL OF YOU. ALL THE
PEOPLE OF THE COMMENTED ON BOTH
SIDES PRO AND CON ON THIS VERY
IMPORTANT ISSUE. BEFORE YOU
KNOW JUST FOR BEING HERE
PARTICIPATING SYSTEM BELIEVE ME
WHEN WE HEAR THE COMMENTS FOR
WE LEARN A LITTLE BIT. HERE THE
COMING TOGETHER YEAH I GUESS WE
LEARN OKAY A LITTLE BIT MORE.
AND CERTAINLY IN THIS PROCESS-
I'VE LEARNED A LOT AND I REALLY
DO BELIEVE THAT THERE'S LOTS OF
ROOM FOR MOVEMENT. A TO BRING
THE PARTIES TOGETHER. THERE ARE
SOME MANY ISSUES THAT STILL
NEED TO BE WORKED OUT WE'VE
HEARD THIS SONG ON THE FLOOR I
BELIEVE THAT- THIS SCA
REPRESENTS A COMPROMISE. FOR
THE GAMING INDUSTRY IN THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA WITH
MODIFICATIONS AND TAKING AND
THOSE STANDARDS INTO ACCOUNT.
IS IT OKAY MISTER CHAIRMAN DID
ALSO TO GERMAN GREAT YOU'RE THE
CHAIR OF THE COMMITTEE YOU CAN
DO WHAT YOU LIKE. THANK YOU-

THE ENGAGE DEBATE. ALL CONCUR
WITH MY- SENATE COLLEAGUES

AND I THINK RAY SO TRIM
IMPORTANT CONCEPTS. THE FULL
CONSULTATION RESPECT. SOVEREIGN
GOVERNMENTS. AND THE ISSUES
ALTHOUGH THERE DIFFICULT AND
WE'VE BEEN AT THEM FOR MANY
YEARS I THINK WE'RE SO CLOSE TO
MOVING FORWARD WITH SOMETHING
THAT'S GOOD FOR OUR TRIBAL
GOVERNMENT PARTNERS AS WELL AS
THE COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT
CALIFORNIA THAT DRIVE BENEFIT.
FROM THE ECONOMY'S RON ROOMS
AND HORSE RACING. THE
OPPORTUNITIES FOR FAIRS AND I
THINK TODAY. WITH THE
LEADERSHIP SHOWN BY CHAIRMAN
DODD THE SENATE THIS COMMITTEE

IN A WAY THAT MADE WITH THE
SPORT. AND I APPRECIATE THAT
