Casinos snafu: Steve Wynn engages Boston mayor in word war, Springfield councilors at odds with new MGM design

Get your popcorns ready: The second word war between Steve Wynn and Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh has started.

On Tuesday, the casino mogul railed against the City of Boston’s latest suit that aims to block his proposed $1.7 billion casino in Everett.

In a statement to Boston Globe, Wynn said the suit “will serve no one, least of all the citizens of Boston.”

The city’s suit, filed last Monday, questions the validity of an environmental permit given to Wynn Resorts to allow the casino operator to begin the construction. The suit reiterated the city’s longstanding argument that the planned Everett casino will lead to increased traffic.
