is month, writer/editor Rob Schmidt reports on the continuing philanthropy of Southern California’s gaming tribes. His article on page 16 is an enlightening account of the generosity and community outreach of gaming tribes. Supporting public works, local re and rescue units, endowing educational institutions, providing environmental stewardship—gaming tribes contribute generously to their communities. We want to make certain Gov. Schwarzennegger reads this report.
