Up to his petunia in lawsuits and an FCPA investigation, Wynn has inflamed passions and continues to do so. Wynn has been tossed out of every other venue he has pursued with good reason and his anti-union stance is well known.
A line on the map was moved behind closed doors in meetings involving the Beacon Hill coven to make this Folly possible.
Thank you, Governor Slot Barns! We told you this would happen. You have made a mockery of your phony 'social justice' claims.

Police say Foxboro man threatened selectman's life
FOXBORO - Foxboro's venomous casino contest hit a new extreme on Patriots Day with the arrest of a casino supporter who allegedly threatened the life of a selectman.
Michael Viscardi, 40, of 1 Spruce St., was being held in police custody Monday night and was to be arraigned today in Wrentham District Court on charges he threatened the life of selectman Mark Sullivan.
According an incident report filed by Foxboro Police Officer John Foscaldo, Viscardi on Sunday afternoon approached Sullivan and said if he didn't change his anti-casino vote he was "a dead man."
Foscaldo's report states that Viscardi is "well known to the Foxboro Police Department."
As recently as last Wednesday, according to police records, "Mr. Viscardi was harassing and heckling 2 uniformed (reserve) police officers who happened to be working a police detail right near his residence," Foscaldo wrote.
Sullivan told The Sun Chronicle Monday night that he had heard from Viscardi a half-dozen times in recent months over the casino issue and considered Viscardi's alleged threats to be serious.
Sullivan said he planned to move his wife and four children today from the family's Spruce Street home to an undisclosed location for a few days.
Sullivan said he has also notified his fellow board members of the upheaval.
He said he was scheduled to appear this morning in the victim's and witnesses office at the court.
Foscalo's report says Viscardi has aligned himself with the pro-casino movement, and the report notes that Sullivan had - on Dec. 27 - changed his vote and now opposed welcoming a casino project to Foxboro.
According to the police report, Sullivan said Viscardi pulled his vehicle into Sullivan's Spruce Street driveway Sunday afternoon and told Sullivan he wanted to talk about the casino issue.
The Sullivans were planning to celebrate a daughter's birthday that day and Mark Sullivan told police he did not want to get into the casino issue with his family present.
Sullivan told police he instead drove along to Viscardi's home about a quarter mile away and parked across from Viscardi's home.
"Mr. Sullivan said that Mr. Viscardi was in a rage and cursing. Mr. Sullivan maintains that Mr. Viscardi raised his voice and stated, 'If you don't change your (expletive) vote ... you're a dead man'."
Sullivan said he left the scene and after consulting with friends and family, decided to notify two police officers he knows, Foscaldo and Officer John Chamberlin. Foscaldo interviewed Sullivan at his home Sunday night and instructed Sullivan to call police immediately if he had any more dealings with Viscardi.
On Monday, police obtained a temporary warrant for Viscardi's arrest, charging him with a threat to commit a crime - to wit, kill.
Viscardi's wife, Denise Viscardi, told The Sun Chronicle Monday night that she learned of his arrest when he called from the Foxboro police station Monday afternoon. She said she went to the station early Monday evening to try to bail him out but was told he was being held overnight.
Denise Viscardi said she and her husband, a union laborer, are active in Jobs For Foxboro, pro-Foxboro-casino group which is funded by Wynn Resorts through a public relations company.
She said the couple attended a Jobs For Foxboro meet-and-greet event in Foxboro last Thursday.
