Secret Bradley Airport casino plan irks MGM

The Connecticut Airport Authority and tribal operators Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun plans to construct a huge casino resort at Bradley International Airport in Connecticut and MGM Resorts International is definitely fuming about it.

Adding insult to injury, MGM, which is building a $950 million casino and entertainment complex near the border of Connecticut and Springfield, Massachusetts, was kept in the dark from the plan since both the airport authority and tribal operators hatched it in secret backrooms.

Hartford Courant reported that MGM tried to compel both the airport authority and the tribal operators to divulge any discussions related to Potential Casino Development” and “Negotiating Strategy” by filing two complaints before the state Freedom of Information Commission.

MGM, in its complaint, questioned the propriety of the secret casino negotiations between the airport authority and tribal operators as it pointed out that significant effect on the region of a casino resort at Bradley Airport.
