The Governors of Massachusetts and New Hampshire are being asked to sign a "treaty" to ban gaming in their states.

Vegas-style gaming is not permitted in either. But some fear the Nipmuc Nation of Massachusetts will be able to open a casino near the state border should the tribe win final federal recognition.

Gaming is being suggested in New Hampshire as a means of paying for education. There are no federally recognized tribes in the state.
