Martinez on the Tule River Tribe
question:
The city recently signed a "memorandum of understanding" with the Tule River Tribe to build a new hotel and casino. As a City Council member, would you support the tribe's efforts or do you oppose the idea of legalized gambling in the city? answer:
I support Porterville's economic growth and respect the sovereignty of the Tule River Tribe. However, I will listen to the citizens of Porterville in making my final decision because it is important for me to be open minded and respectful of the citizens whose lives will be impacted.
