It looks like Democrats in the state legislature finally came to their senses on May 1 and pulled the plug on Keno, a highly addictive form of gambling that was set to make an appearance in our restaurants, bars and other highly public places. According to Christine Stuart of the CTNewsJunkie.com:
No one claimed credit for suggesting keno and no one claimed credit for repealing it, but the House Democratic caucus spontaneously erupted in cheers Thursday when legislative leaders announced that it was not in the budget.
Keno was something that many city residents were strongly against. And it wasn’t just our city – in fact, a Quinnipiac University poll conducted just two months ago revealed that the majority of state residents (65%) were opposed to it.
