BOSTON -- State gambling regulators will consider — and possibly rule on — Boston Mayor Martin Walsh's request to designate the city a "host community" for casino proposals in neighboring Everett and Revere.
The Massachusetts Gaming Commission will hold a public meeting at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center on Thursday.
The Walsh administration and gambling giants Wynn Resorts and Mohegan Sun have been invited to present their case.
Walsh has objected to the process, and it's not immediately clear if his administration will even speak.
The casino companies oppose granting Boston host community status, which would give city residents an opportunity to vote on the proposals.
The companies say Boston is eligible for "surrounding community" status, which would only entitle it to some compensation from casinos.
