Casino & MMA Bills Clear Public Safety Committee
I am pleased that legislation I authored to expand gaming in the state and allow sanctioned mixed martial arts events, have passed the General Assembly’s Public Safety Committee. Both bills are critical in boosting our economic growth and bringing much needed jobs to Connecticut.
MMA is one of the most popular and fastest growing sporting events in the United States and our outdated regulations mean Connecticut cannot host fights. It is about time we change that!
I have heard directly from Bridgeport residents, they want a fair and open process if the state opens another casino. Why not look at Bridgeport as a location?
