Residents of Freetown, Massachusetts, are at the polls today to say whether they want to host a casino for the Aquinnah Wampanoag Tribe.
The tribe has options on a 500-acre site on the Freetown border with Lakeville.
Voters in Lakeville go to the polls this Saturday.
The tribe is planning a $300 million facility at the site. The project depends on the negotiation of a Class III gaming compact and the approval of a land-into-trust application.
Gov. Deval Patrick (D) has declined to enter into negotiations, prompting the threat of a lawsuit from the tribe.
