Caesars is gone!

If you haven't heard by now, Suffolk Downs has removed Caesars Entertainment as its casino operations partner. We're still trying to figure out what it all means, and the story is certainly still developing. Here's what we do know: now, more than ever, transparency matters. And unfortunately, we can't count on Suffolk Downs to show good judgment about who they invite into our community. Recently, the Massachusetts Gaming Commission has made exceptions to the rules for Suffolk Downs, and we're extremely concerned that they're going to do the same thing here. Now, more than ever, it is critical that we educate our neighbors and voters about the glaring problems in the Suffolk Downs casino plans, and the flaws in transparency that have plagued this fight from the start. For months, we have been raising our concerns about Caesars Entertainment with the public and policymakers. Caesars' $24 billion in debt wasn't enough to stop Suffolk Downs from bringing them on in the first place, and their exit now won't be enough for Suffolk Downs to back down from the fight for East Boston's future. They won't back down, and neither will we. Join us tomorrow, 9:30 a.m., at Our Saviour's Lutheran (Maverick Sq., 28 Paris St), as we continue to take this message to our neighbors. Sleep well! - No Eastie Casino
