Pretty slick.. talk about chutzpah! The tribe owns and profits hugely from casinos in CT and PA! And I bet Fast Eddie Rendell is deep in this, as well.

“The loan is just part of $74 million in loans directed to the Mohegans by the USDA for the construction of a community center and tribal government building.
USDA officials said that part of their consideration in moving forward with the project was the tribe’s continued challenge in obtaining credit because of the ongoing economic crisis.”

They also own another casino in Wilkes-Barre, PA.

“The Mohegan Sun sponsors race cars and our arena. Why are they allowed such expenses when Obama’s czars are limiting compensation at corporations?”

I once knew someone who was an elder in that tribe,
and I know that he and his child got thousands of
dollars every year, in the 5 figures, just for
being documented tribal members.
Gee, can we .. the little people .. get stimulus funds
in this harsh credit climate, too ?
Wasn’t there supposed to be federal oversight that -0
mandated to make sure the banks were loosening up funds
with the billions they got on their credit policies ?
Sickening. Dodd’s mortgaging the futures of the next 6
generations on his way out, guaranteeing himself high
paying positions as a consultant and corporate board
membership for he and probably his wife. And I expect
the other outgoing Rats are doing the same.
TERM LIMITS !!
Can the tribes produce documents WRT where they spent and/or allocated billions in tax dollars? Is any of it offshore? Oh, never mind....the FBI, IRS, SEC, GAO can find out (/snix).
November can’t come soon enough! Can’t wait for the hearings by Mr. Issa too. Should be very enlightening.
