Should the State of Connecticut , which takes in an annual $430 million share of casino income, be worried about new casinos proposed for Massachusetts and casino expansion in Rhode Island? The Connecticut Economy winter issue examines the issue.

Steve Lanza, editor of The Connecticut Economy, in this podcast describes how property values have risen for homes near the casino.
