Mashantucket Tribe makes last of casino per capita payments

Friday, March 2, 2012

The Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation of Connecticut has made final per capita payments to its members, The New London Day reports.

At one point, each tribal member received upwards of $7,500 to $10,000 a month. But when the tribe's gaming revenues took a hit, the tribe decided to end the program.

The tribe had been making "transitional" payments of decreasing value, the paper said. Those payments end today.
