Rep. Patrick Kennedy (D-Rhode Island) is backing a bill to fix the U.S. Supreme Court
decision in Carcieri v. Salazar.
Kennedy expects the bill to pass the 111th Congress, particularly if it's attached to must-pass legislation. The issue was raised at a House Natural
Resources Committee hearing on H.R.3697
and H.R.3742 on Wednesday.
Kennedy is the only member of Rhode Island's Congressional delegation to support a fix. Other lawmakers from the state are concerned about the ability of the Narragansett Tribe to acquire trust lands.
