Narragansett Tribe, Harrah's seek support online

Wednesday, September 20, 2006  

The Narragansett Tribe and partner Harrah's Entertainment are going online to seek workers for their casino campaign in Rhode Island.

The tribe and Harrah's have made postings on cragslist.org seeking college students to "educate and register student voters and mobilize them to vote in November." The jobs pay $12 an hour with potential bonuses.

The tribe and Harrah's are asking state voters to amend the constitution to authorize the casino. Opponents say the casino will lead to more addiction and crime.
