Diane Kamilani told the committee that gaming revenue supports essential tribal services and community investments, framing the amendment as vital to tribal sovereignty and long‑term stability. "For Chichancy, gaming is not simply a business," Kamilani said, adding that revenues support health care, housing services, elder programs and education.
Kamilani provided specific figures: the Chick'chansi Gold Resort and Casino opened in 2003 and employs about 1,100 team members with more than $50,000,000 injected into the local economy since opening, and the nation has donated over $25,000,000 to nonprofits and schools across Southern California.
