According to representatives of the Tonto Apache and Quechan tribes, Rosette, LLP, leader Yavapai Prescott was not involved with the government throughout the legal process.

This tribe “carries out a desperate strategy in the 11th hour, which will punish tribes that play by the rules and unfairly comply with terms and conditions.”

Tonto Apache, Chairman of Calvin Johnson, said: “The truth is that we have spent five years negotiating diligently and honestly with the Governor and the Department of Gaming to protect our interests and ensure that our revised compactness provides the best economic benefits for our people.

“We tried to engage with the Yavapai leadership in developing a strategy that would benefit small tribes who think like us, but they refused, saying they would sue simply if they were not satisfied with the outcome of the negotiations.”

State Senator T.J. Schhope, who supported the legislation, called the law a fair and just law and criticized Yavapai’s efforts to impede progress.

“I expect any legal challenge to be dismissed quickly so that economic opportunities have already emerged as a result of the tightening of the tribal-state game of play can continue,” Shope said.
