Dear Friend, Today the Boston Herald endorsed Mohegan Sun Massachusetts! Check out our latest blog post here: From every fiscal angle Mohegan remains a better deal for the community than the Wynn offering. That one sentence summarizes the opinion of the Boston Herald in todays editorial endorsing Mohegan Sun Massachusetts for the Greater Boston casino license. The Herald cited a number of reasons Mohegan is the clear best choice, including its historic agreements with host city Revere and surrounding communities. The Mohegan Sun community agreements are the largest in the nation, guaranteed to send more than $50 million directly to cities and towns each year. Mohegan has also committed to spending more than $50 million on goods and services from local vendors within a 15-mile radius of the casino and hiring 75 percent of its staff within that same radius. And there is also a binding agreement in place to keep Suffolk Downs and its 850 jobs alive. The editorial, which you can read here, also pointed to Mohegans superior design. The other issue that has emerged as a stumbling block for Wynn in recent days is the panning of their design by the Massachusetts chapter of the American Institute of Architects, which found their Las Vegas-style tower not a good match for the surroundings, in particular for its waterfront location. The Mohegan design they found “markedly superior” in every way. Amateur critics though we may be, we concur. Best, Pete Schultz
