Today, state Senator Dennis Bradley (D-Bridgeport) voiced his support for an agreement that would honor both the Mohegan Tribe and the Mashantucket Pequot Tribe to reach a deal with Connecticut that would allow sports betting and online gaming. In support of the Eastern Connecticut legislative delegation, Senator Bradley wrote a letter to Governor Lamont this morning requesting an agreement be made by March 7 that includes the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation.
Senator Bradley is a strong supporter for the expansion of sports wagering and gaming in Connecticut and with an agreement with both Native American Tribes, the committed partnership would benefit a casino in Bridgeport.
This legislative session, Senator Bradley has introduced a bill that would authorize a tribal-resort casino in Bridgeport that would allow sports wagering, internet gaming, and internet lottery.
