Where in this conversation is anyone asking what that BLOATED REGULATORY BUREAUCRACY will cost?

If a federal report determined that for every $1 in tax revenue provided by casino gambling, the cost to taxpayers was $3, surely the prudent thing would be for Republicans to insist on an Independent Cost Benefit Analysis, but then Massachusetts Republicans have been fraudulent in their opposition as well.
Senator Scott Brown has lobbied both Governor Deval Patrick and Senate President Therese Murray to legalize slot machines at the state’s race tracks, according to the governor and a legislative official on Beacon Hill, advocacy that would benefit a longtime Brown friend and campaign donor.
Brown called Murray in April, shortly after the House passed a bill allowing slots at the race tracks, to voice his support and suggested that the Legislature authorize 1,500 slot machines at each track, according to a legislative official familiar with the call.
Revolving Door Trivia, from SHNS:
