JUNE 13, 2000 An editorial in today's issue of The New London Day calls on Connectictut Senators Christopher J Dodd and Joseph I Lieberman to use their power to lobby for a Congressional investigation into the 1983 Mashantucket Pequot Settlement Act. The editorial says that Representative Sam Gejdenson has done just the bare mininum in calling for an investigation. Earlier, Gejdenson said issues surrounding the Act and local opposition to the expansion of the Pequot reservation were issues best left to the courts, not Congress. But recently and after a meeting with the towns of North Stonington, Ledyard, and Preston, he sent a letter to the House Committee on Resources, requesting a probe. The editorial says that the towns can't depend on Gejdenson to do much more on the issue. Get the Story:
