THURSDAY, MARCH 28, 2002 Five Connecticut towns located nearest to the state's tribal casinos could get an extra $175,000 this year. The towns of Norwich, Montville, Ledyard, Preston and North Stonington normally get $250,000 each from the Pequot-Mohegan Fund. Speaker of House Moira Lyons, a Democrat from Stamford, is offering the bonus. Gov. John Rowland initially proposed the towns get $250,000 in addition to their usual amount. But budget woes are forcing a cutback. The Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation and the Mohegan Tribe contribute 25 percent of their slot machine revenue to the fund. Get the Story:
