MAY 4, 2001 In an editorial, Lance C. Johnson of the New London Day, says the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation and three neighboring Connecticut towns can resolve their differences over land if they keep talking. The tribe and the towns have met once to discuss the issue. The meeting resulted in a proposal by the tribe to compensate the towns for land taken into trust. But the towns want a final answer on how large tribal leaders want the reservation to become. The proposal doesn't immediately address the issue. Johnson doesn't mention that the towns and Attorney General Richard Blumenthal plan to continue fighting the federal government over the ability of the tribe to expand its reservation. The Supreme Court this week turned down the state's appeal to a land-into-trust ruling lost last fall. Get the Story:
