BOSTON- Officials on Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts are battling a Native American tribe’s efforts to build a casino on the famous resort island.<\/p>\n

Aquinnah town officials asked a Boston federal judge Friday to require the Aquinnah Wampanoag tribe to apply for a town building permit for their planned casino.<\/p>\n

The tribe’s lawyers argued it doesn’t need town approval because the federal court has recognized its right to operate a casino on sovereign land.<\/p>\n

The town’s lawyers countered that the town still has a right to enforce certain health and safety regulations. The judge is expected to rule later on the dispute.<\/p>\n

Work on the Aquinnah Cliffs Casino began in February after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to take up a legal challenge from the state and town, but construction halted amid the latest dispute.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
