Senate President Stanley Rosenberg and Boston Mayor Marty Walsh have publicly denounced the legislation.īut Everett Mayor Carlo DeMaria said he strongly supports the new law. The new time, which amounts to a two-hour extension, was included in the state budget Governor Charlie Baker signed into law. The change allows the Massachusetts Gaming Commission to issue liquor licenses allowing casinos to serve alcohol to people gambling on casino floors until 4 a.m. As some high profile Massachusetts politicians criticize recent legislation that paves the way for casinos in the commonwealth to serve alcohol until 4 a.m., elected officials in communities where resort casinos will operate are generally supportive of the law.
