Aquinnah Wampanoag Tribe to present another casino plan

Monday, May 24, 2010

The Aquinnah Wampanoag Tribe wants to build a casino in the city of Fall River, Massachusetts, where the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe also wants a casino.

The Aquinnahs say their proposal won't require the city to choose between gaming and a biotechnology park. The Mashpee plan involves the tribe buying land that was slated for the BioPark, raising concerns among some city council members.

The Aquinnahs will present their proposal tonight to the city council.
