麻州民主黨要求擴大調查賭博委員會

Petition Launched Calling for Expansion of Gaming Commission Probe, Public Hearing
Evidence that Steve Wynn used the RGA to funnel campaign contributions to Baker, in direct violation of Massachusetts gaming law
BOSTON – Following Massachusetts Gaming Commission Executive Director Ed Bedrosian’s refusal to investigate reports that Steve Wynn violated Section 46 of the Massachusetts gaming statute, the Massachusetts Democratic Party today announced a petition demanding that the Gaming Commissioners overrule Bedrosian and immediately include Wynn’s illegal donations to Governor Baking in their ongoing probe.
In 2014, Wynn funneled $2 million dollars through the Republican Governor’s Association to Baker’s campaign. Wynn Resorts was an active applicant for a gaming license at the time and therefore prohibited from making a direct or indirect donation to any candidate in Massachusetts.
 “These campaign contributions are a clear violation of our casino gaming law, and it is undoubtedly the Gaming Commission’s responsibility to investigate them,” said Jim Roosevelt, legal counsel for the Massachusetts Democratic Party. “If we want the Massachusetts gaming industry to have any integrity, the Commission must leave no stone unturned in their investigation of Wynn Resorts. Their failure to do so is evidence of Governor Baker’s undue influence over what was meant to be an independent Commission.”
The petition reads:
“Steve Wynn and Governor Charlie Baker have repeatedly concealed financial information from the public and state authorities. The Wall Street Journal reports that Steve Wynn used the RGA to funnel campaign contributions to Baker’s campaign, in direct violation of Massachusetts gaming law. The Massachusetts Gaming Commission must investigate Wynn’s financial support of Baker, and hold a public hearing as part of their investigation into Wynn Resorts.”
