State: Suffolk Downs fit enough to own a casino
By adamg on Wed, 10/30/2013 - 5:10pm
The Massachusetts Gaming Commission says the folks behind Suffolk Downs are fine, upstanding people and can proceed with their application for a billion-dollar casino project on the East Boston/Revere line.
In a ruling released today, the commission did say Suffolk Downs will have to propose a new operator to replace Caesars Entertainment and do a better job of vetting that company first.
The company also needs to convince a majority of East Boston and Revere voters to approve the project in a referendum on Tuesday. If that happens, then it will be up to the commission to select among three proposals for the one casino license for eastern Massachusetts. The others are in Everett and Milford.

Here's a counter-offer:
How about we to revoke Suffolk Downs' license to run a race track at all and rid East Boston of the scourge of gambling completely?
I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm getting flooded with "Friends of Suffolk Downs" mail. Anyone who sends that much spam to sell their idea (yeah, I'm talking about you too, Marty, you jowly bastard) must be expecting to make a hell of a lot of profit to make it worthwhile.
