The Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe of Massachusetts will forge ahead with plans to build its own casino.
A spokesperson for the tribe disputed a report that said the tribe was interested in bidding on a commercial license. Gov. Deval Patrick (D) is proposing up to three casinos in the state.
The exact locations of the state casinos have not been specified. But the tribe says it will build in the town of Middleboro no matter what the state does.
Meanwhile, the Aquinnah Wampanaog Tribe says it is definitely interested in bidding on a commercial license.
But Chairman Donald Widdiss said he wants the tribe to be given preferential treatment in the process.
