Former Lt. Gov. Kevin B. Sullivan always got along with state Rep. Ernie Hewett of New London in their days spent together under the Gold Dome.
But Sullivan, an opponent of expanded gambling, was disturbed by a quote from Hewett in The Hartford Courant. Hewett, who gave up gambling years ago, said there is so much gambling in Connecticut that he would not mind if the controversial keno game was played on every corner.
The comment was made during an informational forum on Gov. M. Jodi Rell’s plan to legalize keno and install the game in 600 to 1,000 bars, taverns, and restaurants across the state.
