Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe welcomes expansion of gaming

Cedric Cromwell, the chairman of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe, testified before the Massachusetts Joint Committee on Economic Development and Emerging Technologies today.

Cromwell said the tribe is eager to work with the state. He urged lawmakers to consider the tribe in developing legislation to authorize casino-style gaming.

"As the Commonwealth crafts a bill to authorize gaming, our tribe urges this committee to also craft provisions that specifically authorize the governor to enter a compact with our tribe for the development and operation of a destination resort casino in southeastern Massachusetts," Cromwell said, according to a copy of his written testimony.

The tribe gained federal recognition in May 2007.
