MASS. SENATE APPROVES BILL LICENSING THREE CASINOS AND ONE RACINO
By Ray Poirier
As expected, the Massachusetts Senate has approved, 24-14, a bill that would authorize the licensing of three casinos and one racino.
This follows the House approval of a similar bill. Because of what was described as minor differences in the two bills, a conference committee will be established to iron out the differences.
It is expected to be on Gov. Deval Patrick’s desk soon. Patrick has expressed his approval of the gambling expansion.
