Connecticut, Tribes Try Again in Federal Court

The gaming tribes of Connecticut and the state have filed an amended lawsuit to try to force the Department of the Interior to issue a ruling on an amended gaming compact for the Mashantucket Pequot Tribe. The action is necessary before the tribe can build a casino in East Windsor. The lawsuit claims that Nevada Senator Dean Heller (l.) “unduly” influenced Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke in favor of MGM Resorts.
