City official Dan Conley proposes citywide voter referendum
In a surprising turn of events, Boston mayoral candidate Daniel F. Conley has announced his intention to file a lawsuit against casino developer Steve Wynn, should he be elected as the city's next Mayor. The lawsuit, if filed, would challenge the construction of a casino in Everett, a neighboring city, due to the affected communities in Boston having no say in the decision.
Conley, the current District Attorney of Suffolk County, has been a vocal critic of the proposed $1 billion resort casino in East Boston. He believes that the residents of Boston should have a say in the decision to build a casino in their city. The proposed referendum, if passed, would give city voters the power to decide whether or not a casino should be built in their city.
The lawsuit, if filed, would be a significant move as it would challenge the approval given by Everett residents in June. Steve Wynn won this approval to build a casino on the Mystic River waterfront. However, Conley argues that the communities and neighborhoods in Boston, which would be impacted by the casino, had no say in the decision to build a casino in Everett.
The lawsuit, if filed, would aim to halt the construction of the casino in Everett until affected communities have the chance to vote. Conley is not morally opposed to a casino, but he believes that an Everett casino will impact various communities and neighborhoods in Boston.
This new development in the ongoing debate about the construction of the casino in East Boston could add another layer of complexity to the issue. If elected, Conley will carry out the will of the voters if they choose to open a casino. However, he insists that the affected communities should have the opportunity to vote first.
Conley's potential lawsuit against Steve Wynn is a demonstration of his commitment to ensuring that affected communities have a say in decisions that impact them. Meanwhile, the candidate running against Conley for the mayoral position is John Connolly. The election is scheduled for November.
The construction of the casino in Everett is already underway, and it is expected to have a significant impact on various communities and neighborhoods in Boston. The referendum, if passed, would give city voters a voice in the decision to build a casino in East Boston, potentially altering the course of the casino's construction.
As the election approaches, the issue of the casino in East Boston continues to be a hot topic of discussion among Boston residents. The outcome of the election and the potential lawsuit could significantly impact the future of casino development in the city.
