Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett
While Ted Kennedy certainly has done some bad things (calling it murder is a bit conspiratorial, though..), there's also a lot that he's done to be celebrated. What has Wynn done that should be celebrated by the public?

Pleading guilty to leaving a scene of an accident where someone died and not reporting it until 10am the next day? Yeah not sure what to call that.
Regardless, we can't start taking names off of everything now when accusations come up. I'm sure you could scrub through everyone's history and find something.

Involuntary manslaughter or vehicular homicide. Leaving the scene of an accident. Not murder though. Murder requires intent, he did not intend to kill.
He was only convicted of leaving the scene of an accident though.

Oh my God. Are we seriously doing the Ted Kennedy thing again? It's been done before on here, folks. Move on.

Yes, because falcon needs to bring some completely unrelated, right-wing talking points into pretty much every thread.

Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett
No. The point is, why should something be "mandated"?
You can come with 1000 examples of names that can be changed, right and left. The fact is Wynn is accused of horrible things, yet not convicted of anything, other than in the court of public opinion. Its a slippery slope to mandate name changes. Its the same debate with Yawkey Way etc. A mandate is strong. Should they consider voluntary changing it? Yes of course, but be mandated by some people on a higher moral ground, no.

Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett
It'll all come down to money, quite frankly. The state has allowed casino gaming, and expects a return on that. If projections show millions of dollars of difference between keeping the name and getting rid of it, guess what's going to happen? Of course, the company will also have its own internal calculations. The only issue I see coming up is if the state's projections and the company's projections are significantly different from one another, but ultimately they both want to see maximum $$$$$.

Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett
His family name was Weinberg. His dad changed it to Wynn. No biggie. His antecedents probably chose "Weinberg" in the early 1800's because some Austrian or German laws required it (e.g. "Edict of Tolerance", etc.).
Personally, I think "Goldwyn" would have been a better subliminal.

Glad to hear your take on the role of government, but the company will also be deciding based on money, just like the state.

Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett
Sounded from news reports today and yesterday that the Casino commission is going to press the ownership stake issue beyond the CEO issue. The naming discussion is a sideshow. Getting the Steve Wynn ownership stake below the 5% threshold is the $2 billion dollar question.
Though I would have to think a $2 billion dollar buy out package isn't a bridge too far for the board to finance.
