TUESDAY, MARCH 19, 2002 Leaders from towns next to reservations in Connecticut are supporting a proposal to increase the amount of money they receive from a tribal casino fund. The Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation and the Mohegan Tribe operate the state's two casinos and contribute 25 percent of slot machine revenues to a state fund. The fund is distributed to municipalities based on a number of factors, including need. Gov. John Rowland's budget calls for an additional $500,00 to go to Montville, Norwich, Ledyard, North Stonington and Preston. The New London Day reports that the hike is politically risky and may not be approved by the Legislature. Get the Story:
