Here Comes the Colonel!

Yeah, never mind the fact that the voters rejected dog racing last year.

Why we even bother voting when the
state does what it wants anyway?

"Track ready to expand if casinos approved

Suffolk Downs executives said yesterday that they are prepared to build the first phase of a gaming development within four months if the Legislature approves casino gambling. Race track owners said they would be able to quickly deliver revenues to the state from slot machines while they worked to build a more expansive development.

The proposed timeline is similar to one Suffolk Down executives presented to Governor Deval Patrick in 2007 when they were vying to build a casino. But Patrick's effort to legalize casino gambling failed in the House. This time Suffolk Downs has teamed up with Wonderland Greyhound Park in Revere to pursue a gambling facility if the Legislature approves slot machines or casinos later this year."

But no dog racing, right?
