Editorial: Expansion of gaming should benefit tribes in Maine

Newspaper says Maine tribes should be included in any expansion of gaming:
As a new commission begins work on a recomendation for the Legislature, it should consider the needs of the state's Indian tribes, which have all attempted to open casinos but were turned down by the voters. The market for new casinos is not unlimited, so it's unrealistic that every tribe could have its own facility.

The commission should find a way to share the benefit among all the tribes if there is to be an expansion.
