Link? Could not find any news of a ground breaking.

No link. We visited the construction site. Through work that is. (EHFD)

What are the chances they turn the field into a dog racing track to attract the true degenerates? Remember the Jai Alai and who that attracted?

Man, I miss the Frontons..."CHULA!"

Rebote carom!

Man, I miss the Frontons..."CHULA!"

That sport made professional wrestling look legitimate.

Any money grab like a casino or toll booth needs to be used to reduce income taxes and encourage economic development. I am a big proponent of penny sales taxes, tolls etc. when they will be specifically used to reduce debt and dig a city, state or country out of debt. It is a painless solution that is rarely used and when it is, politicians quickly screw it up.

Wait a minute. I thought Weiker told us his income tax would preclude the need for any other taxes for evermore???

Downtown casino would be awful just like Cleveland's. Until CT fixes its fundamentally awful business climate all a casino will do is help to widen the income gap. Did you see Hartfords latest proposal for a commuter tax? Might as well put a "Closed" sign at the borders.

There are too many leftists in state government. Businesses will continue to leave the state for the foreseeable future.

The income tax was suppose to pay for education - UConn is $26k a year now compared to whatever it was in 1990 with more tuition hikes already approved. I supported the income tax then and now realize it was a mistake that started the economic downdraft.
