Lily Von Schtoop and Dan Kennedy both wonder why the Wilkerson affidavit devotes so much space to a trip Dianne Wilkerson made to the Foxwoods casino. First, Miss Von Schtoop:

Hmmm. I wonder - is Agent Corr trying to lead us to the Wilkerson-Used-Extortion-Money-To-Gamble-At-Foxwoods-Oh-My theory?

OR are a few of those "each and every every fact known" facts that might include a casino at Crosstown? If Wilkerson was willing to take $23K to obtain liquor licenses, I wonder what it would cost to get a casino?

I mean, the mayor is all about bringing a casino to Suffolk Downs so all Wilkerson would have to do is say 'Hey! What about Roxbury? Why don't we get one?' From what I read in the affidavit she likes to play that card to get her way. ...

Kennedy's memory, meanwhile, is jogged by the Foxwoods section and he remembers an odd, unexplained meeting that Wilkerson called last September with some members of the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe (feuding at the time with the now ousted leader of the tribe) and an aide to Gov. Patrick. What did they talk about? And what of the fact that one of the fixers the tribe hired to make its case on Beacon Hill is good pals with Boston Licensing Board Daniel Pokaski, who may or may not have helped Wilkerson with the liquor license that led to her recent charges?
