Where is THEIR BAILOUT? In fact, how will the Wall Street giveaway help Foxwoods? Richers have more $$$ to throw away?
The Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation, which employs nearly 11,000 workers at Foxwoods, said the elimination of 700 jobs will be in addition to just under 200 disclosed in June and will come in the next few weeks.
