BRIDGEPORT — A majority of city residents back MGM’s proposal to build a $675 million waterfront casino in town, believing the company’s pitch that it will create 7,779 job — many filled by locals. That is according to the Washington D.C.-based Mellman group, hired to conduct a poll for MGM that was shared with Hearst Connecticut Media. MGM has launched an aggressive effort to pressure the powers-that-be at the state capital in Hartford to allow the casino, hotel and entertainment complex to move forward. Of the 500 registered Bridgeport voters reached by phone between Sept. 20th and 24th, 74 percent back the casino and entertainment destination, with 18 percent opposed, Mellman said.
