As the state Gaming Commission cleared the way for three proposals to move forward yesterday, an "employment forum" Caesars Entertainment and Suffolk Downs said it held to tout job opportunities at their proposed resort casino appeared to be more of a get-out-the vote rally for their $1 billion project.
After a panel discussion during which a half-dozen Caesars employees from around the country gushed about the company's benefits and opportunities for advancement, Lynda Tocci, a lobbyist for the proposed casino, took the stage, asking for volunteers to take bumper stickers, canvass neighborhoods, plant lawn signs and man phone banks to urge East Boston and Revere residents to approve the project next month.
"I'm a little disappointed," said 50-year-old Elina Mushin of Marblehead, a recent law school graduate who came with her resume at the ready. "I thought it would be more of a job fair, but they're promoting the casino just to get people to vote."
Suffolk Downs officials said the casino will create 4,000 permanent jobs and 2,500 construction jobs and the average salary at the proposed casino would be $42,000, but they refused to say how much the lowest- and highest-paid workers would make.
The Massachusetts Gaming Commission, meanwhile, yesterday granted the city a variance allowing East Boston residents to vote on the project on Nov. 5 even though the commission has not yet completed its background check on Caesars Entertainment and determined the proposed casino's suitability. If the commission finds the proposal unsuitable, that will bring the project to an end, even if voters approve it next month.
The commission unanimously determined Mohegan Sun's proposal for a resort casino in Palmer is qualified to take the next step in the process to secure the sole license in western Massachusetts, and announced that Penn National is qualified to pursue the state's single slots parlor license in Plainville after it completed a hearing and background check.
