WHAT IT DOES
Proposition 48 gives California voters a chance to approve or reject a deal signed by the governor and passed by the Legislature that would allow the North Fork Rancheria Band of Mono Indians to build a casino with up to 2,000 slot machines about 30 miles northwest of Fresno.
WHO SUPPORTS IT
Gov. Jerry Brown and narrow majorities in the Legislature. The Democratic State Central Committee of California. Las Vegas-based Station Casinos, which is behind the project.
WHO OPPOSES IT
Other casino-owning tribes, including the Table Mountain Rancheria and the United Auburn Indian Community of the Auburn Rancheria. New York-based Brigade Capital Management, an investment firm that backs the Chukchansi Gold Resort & Casino, another Indian casino near the site of the proposed North Fork casino.
CAMPAIGN SPENDING
The groups opposing the measure had raised nearly $4 million from April through Sept. 18, while the groups supporting it have raised about $350,000 over the same period.
