In February 2005, San Pablo City Council voted unanimously to urge state legislators to pass the required enabling act, while in the city council in nearby Albany unanimously voted to oppose that. In April 2005, U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ) attacked the proposed compact. Tribal spokespeople countered that the casino was "the final act in redressing the wrongs", the reparations for the government's dissolution of their tribe's legal status and reservation lands. In addition, they said the casino would create 6,600 jobs and would provide the city, county, and state governments with 25 percent of gaming revenue.
