RI things to know: .... new opposition to Newport gambling.....
NEWPORT GRAND OPPOSITION
A proposal to expand gambling at Newport Grand got some new opposition, as Senate President Teresa Paiva Weed came out against a referendum to allow it. Paiva Weed said she remains concerned that expanded gambling in Massachusetts could hurt Rhode Island, which depends heavily on revenue it receives from the state's gambling parlors. But she said she could not support it after Newport City Council rejected an agreement with the developers who want to revamp Newport Grand and add table games. Voters can still approve the expansion on the Nov. 4 ballot measure.
