Hartford (WTNH) - Foxwoods employees hand delivered a letter to Governor Jodi Rell this morning in an appeal to protect their health against second hand smoke at the casino.
The employees say a high-tech ventilation system is not the solution to addressing the dangerous second hand smoke they are exposed to.
"Eight months have passed since the end of last year's session and nothing's changed," said Jack Edwards, a 12 year dealer at Foxwoods, "Promises were made by the Governor and nothing has happened. We're still sick and getting sicker."
