Opponents of tribal gaming in Maine are being accused of racism by representatives of the Penobscot Nation and the Passamaquoddy Tribe.
The tribes are seeking passage of a bill to allow them to open a racetrack with slot machines. Voters legalized slot machines last year.
But some lawmakers, Gov. John Baldacci (R) and anti-gaming groups are fighting the projects. Tribal representatives say the opposition is based on racism and misinformation.
