Ganim Deals Gambling Proposal
BRIDGEPORT – Bridgeport Mayor and Democratic candidate for Governor Joe Ganim today called for the Connecticut General Assembly to pass Senate Bill No. 540, AN ACT AUTHORIZING SPORTS WAGERING AND ONLINE LOTTERY DRAW GAMES IN THE STATE.

Introducing legal sports wagering that could be taxed by the state at a rate of 15% could significantly eat into that black market. Mayor…
