Harrah's chief financial officer Charles Atwood, left, and Narragansett Indian Tribe Chief Matthew Thomas wait for this morning's House Finance Committee hearing to begin. The panel was considering a bill, introduced by Rep. Timothy A. Williamson, who represents Coventry and West Warwick, that would place a question on the November ballot asking voters if they support amending the state's Constitution to allow a casino in West Warwick. The facility would be privately owned and operated in association with the Narragansetts.

I think you ought to let the people decide. It's time Lincoln and Newport get some competition. They have been allowed to corner the market for far too long. Maybe with a little competition they will treat their customers and employees a little better. They can do what they want now because they are the only show in town
