Airport Authority Refuses To Disclose Casino Docs

The Journal Inquirer reports that the Connecticut Airport Authority “is refusing to disclose information about its proposal for a third casino, claiming the documents and discussions are exempt from the state’s Freedom of Information Act.”  A hearing is scheduled before the Freedom of Information Commission tomorrow. 

I asked the law firm that made the FOI request on behalf of the Mashantucket Pequot and Mohegan tribes, Carmody, Torrance, Sandak & Hennessey LLP, if it would share their pre-hearing brief with me, which they kindly did.  I’ll try to get a copy of the CAA’s brief and post it shortly.
