Supervisor David Rabbitt emphasized the importance of maintaining a positive relationship between the tribe and the community. As per The Press Democrat, he stated: 'We cannot dictate what tribes do on their land, (as) a sovereign nation. The Board of Supervisors of Sonoma County, California, has given the green light to a revised agreement with the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria, ensuring the county receives an extra $5 million each year. The deal is tied to the tribe's plans to expand its casino and hotel near Rohnert Park and aims to streamline the previous agreement while outlining $14.5 million in annual payments to offset the impacts on public services provided by the county.
