Rhode Island Gov. Donald Carcieri (R) testified on Thursday against a bill to put a tribal casino on the November ballot.

Carcieri claims a tribal casino would siphon revenues from two existing gaming facilities that are taxed by the state. He said that it would open the door to full-fledged gaming at those facilities.

The Narragansett Tribe has partnered with Harrah's Entertainment for a casino in West Warwick. The tribe needs voter approval to proceed.
