Connecticut's two federally recognized tribes are in talks with the state about the cost of law enforcement services at their casinos.
As part of the tribal-state compact, the tribes reimburse the state for law enforcement.
The Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation paid $7.3 million and the Mohegan Tribe paid $6.8 million in the last fiscal year, the Associated Press reported.
Both tribes want to address the growing costs of the service.
