Assemblymember Evan Low's recent votes on a bill favoring casino tribes over local card rooms have raised concerns about potential political payback from those tribes supporting his congressional campaign.
Sean McMorris of California Common Cause suggested that the Viejas ads appear to be a reward for Low's votes, asserting that the tribe likely wouldn’t have spent the money without his support.
Tauri Bigknife of the Viejas tribe countered claims of political payback by emphasizing their long-standing relationship with Low, asserting that prior donations were made before his votes.
The fallout from Low's votes includes negative advertising from card rooms, which condemned him for prioritizing the interests of tribes over local tax revenues and his constituents.
