The Massachusetts Gaming
Commission meets today to make a crucial decision that will affect the
Mashpee Wampanoag
Tribe.
The tribe is pursuing a casino in the southeastern part of the state.
But members of the commission might open up the region to non-Indian bidders if they don't think the tribe has made significant progress.
The commission meets at 1pm Eastern time.
