I'm not sure they would need to. Like swimmer pointed out; once they are a "soveriegn nation". Almost anything goes.
Even if Middleboro votes NO the tribe can still build a casino there. The NO vote won't stop that as they will eventually get what they want once a "soveriegn nation". A NO vote will mean everything the tribe is offering goes out the window and the town will only get a pittance of the deal.
It is kind of a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" for the NO voters.
A yes vote will just make it easier for the tribe to go for a full gaming license. They could open a bingo hall now and eventually go up from there with no town approval. So comes back to "damned if ya do and ....
From what I hear the backer is very liquid financially. And he is backing the tribe to the hilt. Supposedly he is 5 Bil. liquid.
