BOSTON (AP) — The state attorney general’s office and groups on both sides of the debate over casino gambling have filed their final legal arguments as the state’s highest court prepares to take up an appeal centered on a proposed November ballot referendum to repeal a 2011 casino law.

Members of the anti-casino group Repeal the Casino Deal argued in a brief submitted Wednesday that the state has an inalienable “police power” to revisit and revise laws and regulations impacting “public morals and welfare” such as gambling laws.
