Arizona eight tribes sign gambling compacts
Gov. Fife Symington and Indian officials signed pacts allowing eight Arizona tribes to operate casinos with population based limits on machines. The agreements end a long dispute sparked by 1992 raids when federal agents seized 750 machines from reservation casinos. Smaller tribes under 4,000 members receive 475 machines, while mid sized tribes between 4,000 and 8,000 members can have up to 700 machines.

Indian Market tax delayed in New Mexico
Santa Fe AP State officials will not enforce the gross receipts tax on Indian Market sales until next year to give lawmakers time to fix the issue. Tax and Revenue Secretary Dick Minzner called the move a reasonable resolution to a thorny problem while officials noted the governor supports it but cannot exempt vendors himself. Vendors will be issued state tax IDs by the city during license issuance, with a streamlined reporting plan in place. The market occurs August 21-22 and refunds may be possible for vendors who paid this year.
