The Mashpee Wampanoag
Tribe has voted against extending a casino agreement with investors and some are wondering about its arrangement with the town of Middleboro, Massachusetts.
The tribe already paid $750,000 to the town for casino planning. Another $250,000 payment is due next month.
But some town officials and residents are worried the tribe might back out. They cite the canceled investor deal and the U.S. Supreme Court
decision in Carcieri
v. Salazar, which could affect the tribe's land-into-trust application.
The tribe says it plans to move forward with the casino and that it will seek to negotiate a new deal with investors.
