A perfect example of that was the casino proposed in West Warwick by the Narragansetts.That dragged on for a couple of years and in the end:
no casino.

Glenn Marshall answers question number one
by Tony Lawrence, correspondent*

7/28/07 Mashpee Wamapanoag Tribal Chairman Glenn Marshall spoke to residents of Oak Point last night. He was asked the question everyone is asking.

It was the very first question, from a woman who asked:

"Months ago you said if you were not welcome, you'd go somewhere else."

Casino opponents have insisted that a "no" vote will result in the tribe no building any kind of casino in Middleboro

Marshall replied that first, the vote is about the contract. But, he does feel welcome. He said he was welcomed by the police, the fire department, the school committee and a poll that said 67% of the community wants him to come. He then said:

"We do feel welcome. That's your answer."

Right from him The town made the right decision.

No More debate Lets go fishing.
