Mohegan Tribe reiterates commitment to Massachusetts gaming

Wednesday, August 25, 2010  

The Mohegan Tribe of Connecticut remains committed to pursuing a casino in Massachusetts, a top executive said.

The tribe wants to build the Mohegan Sun Palmer in the western part of the state. But lawmakers failed to act on a bill to legalize gaming and the issue won't be brought up until next year.

“We’re absolutely, fully committed. You can’t knock us off the perch,” Paul I. Brody, a vice president of development for the Mohegan Tribe, told a group in Palmer, The Waterbury Republican reported.

The tribe operates Mohegan Sun on its reservation, about 60 miles from Palmer.
