“We have always said that it is up to the citizens of Massachusetts to make that decision come November,” said Robert DeSalvio, a senior vice president for Wynn, following the signing of the license award at the Boston teacher’s union hall in Dorchester. “Whether or not we get involved at a later date, we really haven’t come to that conclusion.”
