    Washington, DC – In a conversation with Commonwealth Magazine published this week, Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey said, “casino operators should be held to the same rules as everybody else.” The American Gaming Association (AGA) agrees; casinos should be treated like any other business. A majority of voters also concur.

    “Casinos serve as strong community partners in 40 states across the country,” said Sara Rayme, senior vice president of public affairs. “We look forward to building on the contributions we’re already making to Massachusetts and winning over critics, just like we have in other states.”
