When there's a casino on every corner, what are they going do?

Tribe members face ouster over recall try:

They may not have a casino yet, but leaders of the Enterprise Rancheria certainly know a thing or two about political hardball.

In a maneuver that might make Gray Davis green with envy, five members of the Butte County tribe's council who beat back a recall effort in late September are proposing to throw every person who signed the recall petition out of the tribe.

If approved by three-fourths of the tribal voters who show up at a special hearing in Palermo this morning, 72 people -- or about 20 percent of the 345-member band -- would be "disenrolled."

That would mean no share of revenues, for them or their descendents, from a casino and hotel the tribe is trying to build in Yuba County, near the Sleep Train Ampitheatre and the site of a long-discussed-but-yet-to-be-built auto racetrack.

I was planning to start a tribe with just one member, but after reading this maybe I'll start the "Inclusive and Diverse" Tribe. You know, open to all citizens.
