It is hard to fault Gov. Ned Lamont for being transparent.
On March 2 his office announced it had reached an agreement with the Mohegan Tribe to legalize retail and online sports wagering and online casino-style gaming. The deal cuts the Connecticut Lottery Corp. in on the action and, indirectly, Sportech Venues, which operates off-track betting sites in Connecticut.
Glaringly missing from the deal was the state’s other tribal casino operators, the Mashantucket Pequot Tribe. Tribal Chairman Rodney Butler called the announcement “extremely disrespectful,” contending matters should have remained confidential until an agreement was reached that both tribes could accept.
