James Murren, the chief executive of MGM Resorts International, is going the extra mile to end the gaming monopoly enjoyed by the Mashantucket Pequot and Mohegan tribal nations.

The Connecticut Mirror reported that Murren flew to Connecticut on Tuesday to convince state lawmakers to pass a bill that would turn MGM’s $675 million casino and entertainment complex plan in Bridgeport into a reality.

Murren also urged legislators in Connecticut to revisit the decades-old agreements it entered with the two tribes “for the benefit of the entire state.” Under the agreement, Foxwoods Resort Casino and Mohegan Sun will have the exclusive right to operate slot machines in the state.

“I’m looking for widespread economic development in Bridgeport, not a box of slots, not a casino, but a resort development that will stimulate tourism to your state, activate multiple industries and weave together the already beautiful tapestry of arts, entertainment, retail, culture that already exists,” Murren told businessmen in an event, according to the news agency.
