DeLeo has been a supporter of expanded gambling, but in the past has put an emphasis on installing slot machines at racetracks instead of building resort-style casinos, complete with amenities such as hotels, shops, and golf courses.
“Given the importance of economic development as well as the vital need for revenue, I have expanded my thinking,” DeLeo said this morning in an address to the Associated Industries of Massachusetts. “In addition to my backing of slots, I now support resort casinos.”
DeLeo also said “we will site gaming facilities in a way that reflects the geographic diversity of our state.” He said House lawmakers are currently in the process of crafting a proposal, and hearings will begin next month.
