3,000 Slot Machines Proposed

A legislative panel began its review Monday of a proposal to allow a Maine Indian tribe to operate a casino with as many as 3,000 slot machines at a Down East race track.

The bill before the Legal and Veterans Affairs Committee is sponsored by Rep. Frederick Moore III of Calais, the Passamaquoddy Tribal representative in the Legislature.

Moore touts the bill as an economic development measure for Washington County. Portions of the income from the slots would go to county community college scholarships and a development authority.
