Carcieri "fix" proposed
It may facilitate Indian casino-building....but there's more to it than that.
Senator Bryon Dorgan today introduced a bill to amend the Indian Reorganization Act to make it possible for tribes which became federally recognized after the date of the Act to have the Department of the Interior put land into trust for them.
Here's the story in the Cape Cod Times.
Will this bill make it through Congress and into law? We'll let you know when we know.
