Mass. Slots Watch
More than 100 racetrack employees, horse owners, and local politicians rallied in front of the Massachusetts State House on Monday in support of a bill passed by the Senate last fall that allows up to 2,000 slot machines to be installed at each of the state’s four racetracks and which has languished in the House since. Legislators are meeting today to set a date “to formally debate” the bill, which was to have been voted on in March according to an agreement made last December. It’s now expected that the legislature will take action on April 5, a delay that’s angered some slots supporters.
