Foxwoods is still owned by the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation. Members do not get a handout from the "earnings", they have to be employed at the casino. If you can push a broom the starting pay is over $50,000 for tribal members.

When you see all the glitz and glitter at a casino, remember it was paid for by people "donating" their extra money...... well, sometimes the rent money the landloard didn't get, the food money the local store didn't get, the utility money the gas and electric company didn't get, etc., etc.

I worked there, saw it. Sad.
