Trump presents casino plan to Rhode Island town


The president and chief executive officer of Trump Entertainment Resorts presented gaming mogul Donald Trump's casino proposal to leaders in Johnston, Rhode Island.

Trump says the casino will include a hotel, restaurants and other amenities and will create 3,000 jobs in Johnston, located a few miles outside of Providence. The location was chosen because it is only one hour south of Boston

The plan rivals the Narrangansett Tribe's long-standing proposal for a casino. The tribe is seeking to amend the state constitution to allow gaming in the town of West Warwick.
