Not content to accept quiet and polite corrections, Senator Stanley Rosenberg continues to wave the wrong banner to promote his personal agenda and circulate information he is fully aware is incorrect.
Several recent articles contain a great deal of misinformation emanating from the Senator regarding an extremely complex issue that surely my friend, Gladys or my friend, Carver Chick can elaborate.
Native American Tribes cannot magically place land into trust.
Two Supreme Court decisions have currently rendered that concept meaningless --
Carcieri v Salazar and the Hawaii decision -

have factually debunked this propaganda.
The simplest solution? No SLOTS = No Tribal Casino.
The Mashpee Wampanoags have submitted an application that included Mashpee and Middleboro (to which they have no historic ties). That application is flawed for numerous reasons. The Tribe does NOT own the land in Middleboro.
They have NOT submitted an application that includes Fall River. If the Mashpee Wampanoags had no ties to Middleboro, their ties to Fall River?
Prior to the 2 SCOTUS decisions, LIT would take 5 - 7 years(barring payoffs a la Abramoff).
Then the management agreement MUST be approved or this is the risk:
Tribe Renegs on $50 Million Bond
The time frame for that approval is 5-7 years (again barring payoffs a la Abramoff).
Mr. Cromwell threatened to erect a casino and not pay the state a dime. Has he done so? No because the Tribe has NO LIT and the Tribe ONLY owns land in Mashpee.
The Tribe has an agreement with the Town of Mashpee that stipulated: Mashpee would not oppose their LIT application if:
1. they would not resurrect their land claims;
2. they would not erect a gaming facility in Mashpee
Opposition to SLOT BARNS should not be determined by Cedric Cromwell's misinformation regarding IGRA, nor Senator Rosenberg's calculated statements.
I hope I have simply explained a complex issue.
