The Norwich Bulletin in an editorial today says it is "just" to recognize the Schaghticoke Tribal Nation of Connecticut but that "another casino is simply a bad idea."

The paper says two tribal casinos are enough. "More casinos will mean greater strain on housing, schools, roads and emergency services, as experienced here in eastern Connecticut," the paper writes.

The paper is supporting efforts to halt future gaming in the state. Republicans want to repeal a law they say will prevent more development.
