The chief sachem of the Narragansett Tribe says Rhode Island Gov. Donald Carcieri (R) is subverting the will of the voters.
Matthew Thomas said Carcieri doesn't want voters to decide on his tribe's proposed casino.
Polls the tribe has sponsored show a majority would approve the facility.
Thomas says Carcieri won't meet to even discuss the idea, but Carcieri says he is opposed to any new gaming. The state has two racetracks that offer video slots.
