The Connecticut House has killed a bill that would ban smoking at tribal casinos.
Democrats in the Senate succeeded in passing the bill last week. But Democrats in the House were opposed, so the bill was killed after a closed-doer meeting.
The Mohegan Tribe, owners of the Mohegan Sun Casino, and the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation, owners of the Foxwoods Resort Casino, opposed the bill. They said they want to negotiate the issue on a government-to-government basis.
