Being "business unfriendly" to a big-box proposal is what got us an enormous mixed-use development and a free Orange Line stop. Casinos are like big-box stores in that they bring neither needed services nor good jobs to the area, just traffic. Mayor Joe may be wrong about whether the casino is still stoppable, and if it's not then it is time to change gears to wringing as much benefit out of it as possible. But he's not wrong about whether it's a good idea.
