"We should all be rooting for the Mohegan Sun to win one of the three Massachusetts casino licenses that appear to be soon in the offing.

Isn't it better that the Mohegans win the license for a western Massachusetts casino, for the project they have been proposing for Palmer, Mass., than Hard Rock Hotel & Casino get it for the project they are proposing for Holyoke, Mass?
