A team of lobbyists hired to promote a casino for the Narragansett Tribe of Rhode Island were paid nearly $40,000 in fees last month alone.

The Providence Journal reported the monthly fees of eight lobbyists who are either employed by the tribe or by Harrah's Entertainment, the tribe's gaming partner. Two lawyers were each paid $10,500 for their work, the highest payment.

The list of lobbyists includes former West Warwick mayor J. Michael Levesque, a Republican.
