The Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe of Massachusetts is holding a special council meeting tomorrow to discuss its casino plans. The tribe has submitted a land-into-trust application for a casino in the city of Taunton. Chairman Cedric Cromwell has promised to move forward with the project even though the Massachusetts Gaming Commission voted to open the region to non-Indian bidders. "We have not wavered from our focus of preparing to build our destination resort casino in Taunton. With the support of one of the most successful gaming companies in the world, we are continuing the planning and design process toward building a first class facility," Cromwell said in an update. Cromwell noted that the tribe won't be required to share revenues with the state if another casino opens in southeastern Massachusetts. Get the Story:
