Judge rejects sale of land for Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe casino
Monday, November 22, 2010

For the second time, a judge in Massachusetts has rejected a land deal for the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe.

Judge Richard T. Moses said a modified agreement that doesn't mention gaming continues to violate state laws. He also said a group of taxpayers -- including the chief of a state-recognized tribe -- have standing to challenging the sale of land.

Officials in Fall River plan to appeal the decision. “I have to do everything in my authority to bring mass job creation,” Mayor Will Flanagan told The Fall River Herald News.

The tribe was due to close on 45 acres in the city of Fall River on November 14. The tribe agreed to pay $4.7 million for the land.

The tribe eventually wants to purchase 300 acres in Fall River for a total of $21 million.
