Voters in nine Maine communities are considering a non-binding referendum on a tribal casino today.

The Penobscot Nation and the Passamaquoddy Tribe are looking to develop a $650 million casino. Timothy R. Love, a former Penobscot governor, and Tom Tureen, an attorney who helped settle the two tribes' land claim through legislation, are lobbying for the effort.

Turreen also helped the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation gain federal recognition, paving the way for its successful casino.
