East Windsor casino is one step closer to construction
According to the City Mirror, amendments revising the tribal agreements now go to the legislature and then to the Bureau of Indian Affairs, which has informally indicated it would approve the terms of the tribes' first casino off tribal lands.
The last official word before construction, however, is likely to come from a U.S. District Court judge: MGM vows to seek an injunction, claiming that the law granting exclusive rights to the Mashantucket Pequot and Mohegan tribal nations violates the equal protection and commerce clauses of the U.S. Constitution.
Kevin Brown, the Mohegan tribal chairman, said MGM’s threat is nothing new, and the tribes successfully made their case for a new casino to the governor and legislature “under the shadow of litigation.”
“I believe we have acted appropriately as a state to protect the interest of the state, as well as our partners, the tribal nations, and obviously to the benefit of those who remain employed at those facilities and this new facility,” Governor Malloy said.
