We don’t want roulette. We want what the state has,” Chief Sachem Matthew Thomas said. Thomas has requested a meeting with members of the state delegation about the Chafee amendment, a 1996 law introduced by U.S. Senator John Chafee that bars the tribe from federal Indian gaming privileges on its 1,800 acres.

SM | December 20, 2006 1:53 PM link You've lost. You get nothing. C | December 20, 2006 4:06 PM link "We don’t want table games. We don’t want roulette. We want what the state has," You people are suckers if you believe that. That will be the line right up until they get the Chafee rider revolked and then you Charlestown residents be staring at a full gambling facility to rival Foxwoods.
