Medford council votes no on casino

Medford became the second neighboring city to voice opposition to a potential casino ­development in Everett when the City Council voted 5 to 2 Tuesday to oppose any such ­development on the old ­Monsanto Chemical Co. site.

The Massachusetts casino law requires any development to receive referendum approval from the host community. It ­also requires the developer to negotiate mitigation with neighboring communities.

what a stupid idea to put a casino in Meford. Thank God it was quickly shot down
