FROM THE ARCHIVE
NOVEMBER 29, 2000 The Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation of Connecticut on Tuesday said they will give money to three towns who oppose them on a variety of issues, but the town leaders appear to have rejected the offer. Robert M. Congdon, First Selectman of Preston, said the town doesn't see itself getting more of the state's Pequot Fund, the money the tribe gives as part of its gaming copact. But the tribe is offering its own money to the town, a practice the Mohegan Tribe does with the town of Montville. Another town leader, Nicholas H. Mullane II of North Stonington, said the money wouldn't placate them because the town is worried about land. He also said the tribe's offer wasn't directed to them because he didn't attend a press conference on Tuesday. Along with Governor John G. Rowland, the tribe yesterday presented a study which showed the economic benefits they have made on the state's economy. A tribal councilor said he was pleased with the report, whose results he had heard for the first time. Get the Story:
