Opposing sides in the casino debate will host events today to build support for their arguments.

At 11 a.m., Rhode Islanders for Jobs and Tax Relief, supporters of the proposed casino, promises to "connect the dots" for the media and unveil the "insidious relationships" between the anti-casino group Save Our State and Rhode Island "insiders," according to a media alert.

Later today, Save our State will co-host a Rhode Island Leadership Rally, where speakers, including Governor Carcieri, Lt. Governor Charles Fogarty and Providence Mayor David N. Cicilline, are expected to speak against amending the state Constitution to allow Harrah's Entertainment and the Narrgansett Indian Tribe to build a casino in West Warwick.

Rhode Islanders for Jobs and Tax relief will host its event at McCormick & Schmick's, 11 Dorrance Street, Providence.

Save our State's rally, co-hosted by We the People, will be from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Airport Sheraton, Post Road, Warwick.
