THURSDAY, MARCH 21, 2002 "The Narragansett Indians are furious that the House Finance Committee appears bent on ignoring their pleas to put a West Warwick casino on the 2002 ballot. Instead, the panel may prefer shoving the matter into an in-depth study that might somehow cast the tribe and its backers, Boyd Gaming, off to the side in favor of Harrah's, another big hitter in the gambling world. I can see why the Indians might feel something is amiss. What I can't see is why [Secretary of State chief of staff Joe] DeLorenzo doesn't understand why he was wrong to have gotten involved in this. And, DeLorenzo's slowness notwithstanding, what's the matter with [Secretary of State Ed] Inman? Why doesn't he understand how lethal this is to his election bid?" Get the Story:
