One by one, the Massachusetts Gaming Commission dispatched appeals Thursday afternoon from three developers and one mayor seeking extension of the deadline for gambling license applications.
“We are trying as hard as we can to move forward expeditiously to achieve the goal that the statute requires and issue these licenses,” Commissioner James McHugh said in arguing that granting an extension would slow the process.

I applaud the commission's decision. After months to prepare their proposals, no extentions are justified. Some people are always late, but any group that's late in the first stage of the process can't be expected to be on time for the rest.
