Odds Improve for Mass. Slots

So say some state legislators (Boston Herald):

A small group of House lawmakers, including state Rep. Brian Wallace (D-South Boston), has been quietly lobbying colleagues and meeting with racetrack executives and union officials for more than a year. Buoyed by the state Senate’s 26-9 vote to legalize thousands of slots at the state’s struggling racetracks, Wallace and other pro-slots lawmakers plan to start pushing for a vote as soon as next week.
