Casino foes square off on PBS tonight

Narragansett Chief Sachem Matthew Thomas will square off tonight against vocal casino opponent Richard Oster in a special edition of the Rhode Island PBS program "A Lively Experiment."

Oster, the former head of anti-casino group Save Our State, opposes the Narragansett's effort to amend the state Constitution to allow a casino in West Warwick. The question is set to appear on the November ballot.

The PBS program will be taped this afternoon and is scheduled to be aired locally at 7:30 p.m. on Channel 36. Another airing is planned for Sunday.
