Conn. AG Urges Changes Before Allowing Keno

Rell's budget director, Robert Genuario, said under the governor's latest budget proposal the state would essentially borrow against the next 10 years of expected Keno revenues, generating $400 million.

Paul Young, executive director of the state's Division of Special Revenue, which regulates gambling in Connecticut, reaffirmed Monday that he believes the agreement between the two tribes and the state would allow the Connecticut Lottery Corp. to offer Keno games because it is a lottery game.

He said he didn't believe legislation is necessary.

A spokeswoman for the Connecticut Lottery Corporation has said the quasi-public agency was waiting to take its lead from the General Assembly.
