The letter <br /> to town residents acknowledged the Tribe is not interested in taking <br /> private property from citizens, but it did not state anything about the <br /> taking of Town land. Mr. Martiros had questions regarding the land suit <br /> and the potential for the Tribe to pursue Town land and building a casino <br /> off Cape. In response, the Selectmen indicated that a public forum on this <br /> matter was scheduled in late November, but was canceled due to <br /> scheduling conflicts. The forum is anticipated to be rescheduled after the <br /> holiday season. Presently, the Town is conducting informal negotiations <br /> with the Tribal Council. Information regarding the recognition process <br /> would be available for the public at the open forum. Mr. Martiros was <br /> encouraged to submit questions regarding this concern to the Selectmen. <br /> s <br />
