Special Report Part Five
In a newspaper box near the steps of Sanford's Town Hall, the
front page of the local weekly screams, "Selectmen disagree on
casino."
Replace "Selectmen" with "Families," "Friends" or "Neighbors" - or
"Mainers" for that matter - and that headline could run anywhere in
the state, where in November voters will decide whether to allow
Maine's two largest Indian tribes to open a $650 million casino
resort.
Nowhere is the debate more intense than in this blue-collar
southern Maine town. When residents voted last November to keep the
door open to an Indian casino, they made their community ground zero
for what is destined to be a bitter political battle.
