Proposed casino has foes

Some residents of New London, Connecticut, plan to form a coalition to fight against a proposal made by the Eastern Pequot Tribe to build a casino in the city.

They say the city can't handle a casino and that the tribe has presented overly rosy estimates of the benefits a casino will bring.

Since the tribe has not received final federal recognition and the status is the result of a lawsuit, it could be a year or more before the tribe could consider opening a casino in the town.
