One man jury to probe Conn. payoff charges
A one man state grand jury was ordered to investigate payoffs and improprieties in granting a Bridgeport gaming permit to Connecticut Sports Enterprises Inc. The probe includes potential involvement by the Federal Organized Crime Strike Force. Hartford Judge Harold Mulvey was named grand juror, with Stoughton to present evidence. The Bailey family disputed a claim that jai alai promoter David Friend paid $200,000 in Hartford, saying Bailey was out of state. The UPI report notes both major parties may be involved. labor, pensions, and dog kennel financing also come under scrutiny. Governor Grasso halted new permits pending review amid questions about Connecticut gaming operations. The gaming commission will probe dog kennel financing at Plainfield, with NEGA alleging front kennels and Keelan tied to some kennels. Keelan denies backing but will list kennels scheduled to race.
