WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 7, 2002 A special commission approved by Rhode Island lawmakers held the second in a series of hearings on Tuesday night regarding gaming in the state. The commission was authorized over the objections of the Narragansett Tribe, whose leaders have sought to open a casino for years. State law requires voter approval but the nine-month study hampered their latest quest. Narragansett Chief Sachem Matthew Thomas and other tribal members attended the latest hearing but did not appear to get a chance to testify, according to The Providence Journal. Get the Story:
