Governor bets he can withhold casino memoranda
Sabutai knows something about the gambling issue, living in Middleborough and all, and so wonders why Deval Patrick won't release that casino study:
... Either something about building a casino is involved with national security, or there's something in those taxpayer-funded studies that Deval doesn't want taxpayers to know. Maybe stuff that would have been useful to know before our town meeting...maybe stuff that makes him look like a twit for being on the sidelines while other people like Tim Cahill stepped up. Maybe there's nothing in there, and Deval is taking tips from Dick Cheney. Maybe it's nothing -- I don't know, but durn it I'd like to find out. ...
Sco calls for release:
... You can hold on to the casino study until you make your final decision, but if you don't release it people are always going to wonder what was so awful in there that the public wasn't allowed to read.
Michael Pahre thinks the Governor is breaking the state open-records law:
... I think the Governor is going to lose this one, but who knows how long it will take for the Supervisor [of public records] to order the records released. ...
