The Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC) has filed a motion on Tuesday to dismiss Boston’s 152-page lawsuit, describing it as “verbose, repetitive, argumentative, and confusing.”
Commissioners asked the state judge in charge of the lawsuit to dismiss the suit as it did not comply with the state requirements for such legal documents to be brief but comprehensive.
The suit, which was filed in October by Boston officials, led by Mayor Martin Walsh, accused the MGC of giving preferential treatment to Wynn Resorts’ $1.6-billion project, which beat out Mohegan Sun for the lone Boston-area casino license in September.
Walsh spokeswoman Bonnie McGilpin said that the city administration might seek injunction to block the construction of the property. She also pointed out that the city will remain open to discussions about the impact of ancasino in Everett on residents.
