Rhode Island attorney general opposes casino vote

 printer friendly
Rhode Island attorney general Patrick C. Lynch says a proposed tribal casino referendum violates the state's constitution.

Lynch, a Democrat, is joining Gov. Donald Carcieri (R) in opposing the vote for the Naragansett Tribe's casino. Although Carcieri vetoed the casino bill, lawmakers are expected to override it.

Lynch and Carcieri cite court decisions which they interpret as barring a "private-run" lottery. They say the courts equate a lottery with a casino.
