UNITE HERE adds $2 million

The pot of money for those opposing the Indian compacts on the presidential primary ballot keeps growing. This week, the hotel and restaurant employee union, UNITE HERE, which spearheaded the signature-gathering drive for the four referendums, donated another $2 million.

The union had previously given $1 million to the campaign to qualify what's become Propositions 94, 95, 96 and 97.

Last week, the Pala Band of Mission Indians donated $2.5 million to oppose rival tribes' casino expansion compacts on the Feb. 5 ballot.
