Cambridge Politicians Gave Away Potential Windfall
Whoever negotiated this deal was negligent. (Erin Baldassari, "Cambridge to receive $100K annually if Wynn Casino approved," Apr. 30, 2014, CAMBRIDGE Chronicle) A percentage of the casino's winnings from their video poker machines would bring in many more dollars. Seventy five percent of casino profits are now derived from video poker machines. See MIT's Prof. Natasha Dow Schull's wonderful book about video gambling, Addiction By Design. The negative effects of casinos can not be measured. Short sighted misguided politicians arranged this pittance.
