Senator Chris Dodd’s ‘parting shot’

With the help of Democrat Senator Chris Dodd (pictured), the federal government has awarded $54 million to Connecticut’s politically well-connected Mohegan Indian tribe, which operates one of the highest grossing casinos in the U.S.

The casino earns $1 billion-plus per year and now is $54 million richer thanks to Chris Dodd’s generosity with taxpayer money.

Chris Dodd was pressured into not running for re-election enhancing the chance for a Democrat to win the seat held by Dodd for nearly 30 years.

Is the gift to the Indian Casino Dodd’s ‘parting shot’ for being forced out of the Senate by the Obama administration?
