However, McKinney read from a letter to U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid from Justice Department Assistant Attorney General Ronald Weich, which said the opinion “provides much needed clarity to those state governments that would like to permit wholly instate, non-sports, Internet gambling.”
“So the very department that issued the decision has recognized publicly that the decision does not allow for Internet gambling throughout the country. It is not inevitable,” McKinney said.
State statute makes businesses transferring gambling information a Class A misdemeanor. It is a Class B misdemeanor for an individual to engage in online gambling, he said. McKinney cited a CTNewsJunkie story in which Rep. Roland Lemar, D- New Haven, used his iPad to demonstrate that Connecticut residents can already access online gambling.
He was able to fill out the site’s application and enter his credit card number from the Legislative Office Building during a Finance Committee meeting. Lemar said the only thing he didn’t do is click start. McKinney said it’s a good thing he didn’t.
“Had that individual actually participated on that site, he would have committed a Class B misdemeanor under Connecticut law and I would assume that’s why he didn’t do it,” he said.
