The Narragansett Tribe of Rhode Island is making another attempt to open a Class III casino.
The tribe and its supporters are unveiling new legislation that would put the casino on the November ballot. Last year's proposal was struck down by the state Supreme Court before it even got to the voters.
Gov. Donald Carcieri (R) opposes the casino. But he is pushing a deal in which the tribe would receive at least $6 million a year from Lincoln Park, the state's sole racetrack. A consortium that helped developed the Mohegan Tribe's casino is proposing to buy the park for $435 million and expand the facility.
