MGM Resorts International has opened another front in its battle against being left out of the running to operate a third casino in Connecticut.
This time, MGM is taking aim at the Connecticut Airport Authority and its practice of going into executive session at its monthly meetings to talk about "negotiating strategy" in its bid to bring the gaming venue to Bradley International Airport.
MGM has taken its complaint to the state Freedom of Information Commission, arguing the state's right-to-know laws don't protect such discussions. At Monday's airport authority meeting, the item again appeared on the agenda.
"Secret meetings behind closed doors usually lead to bad outcomes," Bernard Kavaler, a spokesman for MGM in Connecticut, said Monday. "Transparency and accountability should be rock-solid core values for a public agency, and the public's right to know should come first."
