Members of the Passamaquoddy Tribe of Maine soundly rejected a non-Indian casino that was on Tuesday's ballot.
On the Indian Township reservation, 87 percent voted against the casino. On the Pleasant Point reservation and in a nearby area, 80 percent opposed the casino.
The tribal people remembered that Oxford County people didn’t support us last year,” Pleasant Point Gov. Rick Phillips-Doyle told The Bangor Daily News.
Statewide, 54 percent of voters rejected the casino.
