Passamaquoddy Tribe eyes voter approval for casino once again

Tuesday, July 30, 2013  

The Passamaquoddy Tribe of Maine will once again be asking for voters to approve a casino.

Voters have rejected the tribe at least twice even as they approved non-Indian gaming facilities. But this time the tribe hopes to limit the ballots to the economically-depressed Washington County.

"We still hope to turn the world around a little bit," Gov. R. Clayton Cleaves of the Passamaquoddy Tribe at Pleasant Point, told WCSH.

The tribe will go through the Legislature later this year in order to get the casino on the ballot.
