Lawsuit threatened over Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe casino site

Wednesday, June 6, 2012

The Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe is already facing the threat of litigation for its proposed casino in Taunton, Massachusetts.

The tribe plans a $500 million facility on a 145-acre site in the city. An attorney, however, claims a deed restriction on the land prohibits gaming.

Residents of Taunton will go the polls on June 9 to say whether they want to host the casino.
