Our Tribal community should have received a message today that Cedric Cromwell and David DeQuattro were held accountable for the damage they caused to our tribal community. Unfortunately, DeQuattro received one year of home confinement, and Cromwell remains free while he appeals his sentence of 36 months, followed by one year of supervised release and a $25,000 fine.

The program provides a maximum monthly payment to the landlord of $500 per month for three months. There is a maximum amount that may pay arrears of $3,000, and the maximum amount for moving or move-in expenses is $3,000.

The sentencing hearing for Cedric Cromwell will be held on Tuesday, November 15, at 10:00 a.m. The hearing will be held at the U.S. District Court in Boston before Judge Woodlock.

Transportation for tribal members is being arranged, and we will prioritize Elders. If you would like to attend and are seeking transportation, please get in touch with Tribal Council Secretary Cassie Jackson at cassie.jackson@mwtribe-nsn.gov.

In coordination with TERO, the Gaming Authority is advertising two RFPs - one is for Owner's Rep and a second for Construction Management.

The two RFPs continue our Tribe on a path of growth, progression, and opportunity while revitalizing the economic future for the City of Taunton in Southeastern Massachusetts, as well as our great state. These RFPs allow us to explore many different options for economic development on our sovereign land, including options for a casino. The Gaming Authority is assembling a team to explore our options and determine which will be best for the Tribe.
