Cougar face jubiliant at Boston casino defeat

 Corporate casinos trying to spread around to destroy Indian gaming faced a defeat in Boston as

voters struck down an attempt to put a casino in easy Boston. Casino advocates were shocked and said this was the only way to save some horse racing track that few folks go to anymore. If this is the last  racing in New England then let it be. Opponents convinced voters that an urban casino would be too costly with new roads and traffic congestion that would forever change this unique urban neighborhood. This victory shows communities that they can organize and fight the system even in a short amount of time to get the battle won. This was a dramatic defeat for the casino moguls in trying to create another massive complex for people to lose their fortunes.  It was widely given that Suffolk Downs and its casino partner, Caesars Entertainment, would win a Greater Boston resort casino license in recent months before a grassroots organizing attempt took fold to destroy these ambitions of the casino elites. This was one victory against the spread of corporate gaming that is basically set up to stop the increased wealth of Indian gaming and ruin the lifeblood of indigenous communities with no other investment or source of income. As far as the race track in Boston some rich folks want to preserve they need to go to financial institutions and just ask for loans to keep their unprofitable hobby going for them. Boston is a world class city with people all over the world and the last thing they needed was for a portion of their fabulous city to be a small Las Vegas.
