Dear Chairman Butler,

As you know, Connecticut is in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Governor has
issued Executive Orders intended to protect health and safety during the pandemic. I have been
advised that the Mashantucket Pequot Tribe (“Tribe”) has publicly expressed its intention to reopen its gaming facilities and related operations on or before June 1, 2020. Pursuant to Section
14(a) of the Final Mashantucket Pequot Gaming Procedures, I respectfully but formally
require that the Mashantucket Pequot Tribe cooperate with the State in order to assure
compliance with the health and safety standards generally imposed by Connecticut law and
regulations.
Given that time is of the essence, as an important initial step in that cooperation, no later than
May 22, 2020, please provide: (1) a detailed and comprehensive writing setting forth the Tribe's
plan to re-open (including--but not limited to--clear information regarding all facilities that the
Tribe plans to re-open) and its plan to protect the health and safety of people working at and
patronizing the tribal casinos and all related enterprises; (2) copies of any and all Tribal
ordinances and regulations implementing that plan; and (3) any and all public health or
similar information that the Tribe used to support its creation of the plan.
Sincerely,

Michelle Seagull
