A task force in Maine is finalizing work on a proposal tribal casino.

The panel was formed by the State Legislature to understand how gaming will impact the state. The Passamaquoddy Tribe and the Penobscot Nation want to build a $500 million casino they say will generate jobs and revenues for the state.

Responding to those and other claims wasn't easy for the task force. It won't be making any recommendations either way on the casino and wasn't able to provide some basic estimates of the impact of such a development.
