|
The Massachusetts legislature has sent a casino bill to Governor Deval Patrick’s desk, the Boston Globe reported Thursday.
The measure will allow three casinos and a slot machine parlor.
After a last-minute legislative compromise, Patrick said he will likely sign by Thanksgiving.
Supporters claim the bill will create jobs and keep much needed tax revenue within the state. Opponents of the bill will reportedly seek to draft a repeal proposal.
