Last week MGM released plans for a proposed $675 million “funded, shovel ready” casino in Bridgeport, the state’s largest city. MGM is undeterred by multiple court rulings, legislative decisions and now even a statement from the governor pouring cold water on its proposal.
It has been turned aside at every turn in its efforts to first stop Connecticut’s gaming tribes from building a third casino, and then trying to blunt their effort by pushing for its own casino. You could call MGM the casino developer that won’t take no for an answer.
