Sen. Formica highlights CT opportunities with the CT Examiner

In his CT Examiner interview, Sen. Formica provides a Capitol update on key issues facing the state.

“It’s time to have online gaming and sports betting. I think the governor has held that up long enough,” Formica said of a casino bill that he will work on with Osten.

The bill would allow the Mashantucket Pequot and Mohegan tribes to build an estimated $300 million facility in East Windsor as well as the potential for other tribes to build in other locations.

Formica said it’s cheaper to work with the casinos than to litigate.

And casinos will protect Connecticut jobs, especially in Southeastern Connecticut, he said.
