The cavernous morass of casino expansion in Connecticut grew deeper and wider Tuesday as the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs blew off a deadline to approve or reject the deal that allows the Mohegan and Mashantucket Pequot tribes to build an East Windsor casino. Bridgeport is watching closely, as the East Windsor deal — a controversial state law passed a few months ago — affects the fate of a $675 million plan for a casino resort by MGM on Bridgeport Harbor. BIA’s non-action might mean the deal is approved, through lack of rejection. Or it might mean there’s no approval yet. Naturally, the feuding sides can’t agree. This latest flap is just another skirmish in the long Great Casino War of Connecticut, now three years old.
