The Narragansett Tribe of Rhode Island criticized the state for sponsoring job fairs for a tribal casino in Connecticut.

Chief Sachem Matthew Thomas called Gov. Donald Carcieri (R) a hypocrite because he opposes tribal gaming. But Carcieri had nothing to do with the job fair, his office said.

The Narragansett Tribe is seeking voter approval to build a casino. One of Carcieri's arguments against the proposal is that casinos don't offer "real" jobs.
