The Enthusiastic Mayor - There has been no bigger cheerleader for Steve Wynn than Everett, MA Mayor Carlo DeMaria who recently said amid rumors of Wynn selling the casino, ' I don't want to work with another gaming company.' While DeMaria was looking for a development project that would transform the aged-industrial town outside of Boston, he became more enthusiastic about the project in December 2012.

This might be why Sterling Suffolk left Everett Property LLC, a Wynn holding company which owns the 6 acres of land in Boston, out of its lawsuit. Since Wynn took over Monsanto's obligation to clean the land of toxic chemicals, one has to wonder if the same obligation was met on the 6-acres of land that was excluded from the gaming license which borders, and is in, the Mystic River. Today, that plot of Boston land, much of which is submerged in the Mystic River, is very much part of the casino with planned ferry service to usher gamblers from hotels in Boston's booming Seaport. To avert having to work with Boston, who clearly was behind a casino / racetrack at Suffolk Downs, Wynn cleverly divided the plot of land to exclude 6 acres that was in Boston from its license application. However, the town rejected the plan for a casino and Wynn shifted his sights to 36 acres (once site of a Monsanto Chemical plant) that was near, and in, Boston. Kraft would have considered the casino just another part of his growing Wonderland there at Patriot Place. The Land - Wynn had all but sealed a deal with New England Patriot owner Robert Kraft in early 2012 to build a casino near the football stadium in Foxborough, MA (over 20 miles south of Boston).
