The state Gaming Commission on Thursday declined to award a license for a commercial casino on the Brockton Fairgrounds in southeastern Massachusetts near where the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe has broken ground on a resort casino of its own.
After about two and a half days of discussion and deliberation, the five-person commission chose not to offer a license to Mass Gaming & Entertainment/Rush Street Gaming, a team planning a commercial casino at the Brockton Fairgrounds.
WASHINGTON (AP) – Nancy Schumacher says she just wanted to do her civic duty, and so she heeded the call to become a superdelegate for Hillary Clinton. But in the year of the angry voter, not even an administrative assistant from Elk River, Minnesota, can escape the outrage.
"Some of the (phone and email) messages called me names. Some of them called Hillary names. And others said I was a stupid bitch and something bad will happen to me," said Schumacher, a Democratic committee member. "It's kind of hard to take sometimes."
