Justices To Rule If Tribes Must Report Political Donations

The California Supreme Court agreed today to decide whether California's Indian tribes are bound by campaign-finance disclosure rules.

The seven justices unanimously agreed to review an appeals court's March decision that said tribes were subject to campaign-finance enforcement lawsuits from the Fair Political Practices Commission.

The case is significant for California's political culture. More than 100 California tribes -- some flush with casino revenue -- are major campaign donors, having given $130 million to candidates and ballot measure campaigns since 1998.
