The Bay State’s two U.S. Senators, Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey, have filed legislation that would bypass a lawsuit-stalled Interior Department review process and grant reservation status to the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe’s property in Taunton, clearing the path for a long-sought casino to open, Craig LeMoult reports at WGBH. Similar legislation had previously been filed in the House, but even the sponsor of that bill, U.S. Rep. Bill Keating, acknowledges the prospects of passage before the November mid-term elections look slim.
