So, a subset of the land owners where the proposed Wynn casino will go in Everett were indicated by both the state and federal government yesterday. The MA gaming commission knew about them going back a year or so, which helped lead to the indictments.

Chip Tuttle, COO of Suffolk, went on Twitter and (paraphrasing) lamented that he had to explain why crooks were getting money in the name of job creation while the people at SD were working their last days. He sent a second tweet blasting the MA gaming commission, which he later deleted (I think).
Doesn't change anything for Suffolk, per se, it would seem. But, it will give fodder to those supporting the repeal of the casino law. The repeal of the casino law would wipe out the horsemen's fund, which those guys are counting on to maybe resurrect racing in Massachusetts one day.
