Moehegan Sun Casino gets stimulus $$$

The feds awarded a staggering $54 million to Connecticut’s politically-connected Mohegan Indian tribe, which runs one of the highest grossing casinos in the country, according to a new bombshell report.
The tribe, which operates the popular Mohegan Sun casino, earned more than $1.3 billion in gross revenues in 2009.
But that didn’t stop Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) of helping the tribe secure the funds, according to ABC News.
