The state senate Ways and Means Committee will hear a bill that would approve the creation of two casinos this Tuesday morning.
Long-time casino champion and sponsor of the bill, Democratic Senator Lou D’Allesandro of Manchester, says this bill has a lot more revenue sharing than past bills.
“Every person in the state has a stake in this piece of legislation.”
D’Allesandro says the hosting community, neighboring communities, the hosting county and the state health department each get a cut of the revenue.
The 116-page bill allows for two casinos, one half the size of the first, which would operate video slot machines and table games.
