Now that we know the "who" and the "where," we'd like to know why.
But after the meeting today, Gaming Control Board chairman Tad Decker would not give any insight into why the board chose the applicants they did (in Philly's case, that would be SugarHouse and Foxwood casinos). He said the board -- which fashions itself kind of like a court of judges -- will be issuing a written opinion within a couple of weeks.
He did say members deliberated for four hours yesterday before making up their mind -- which some critics pointed out was record time for what should be a weighty matter.
Decker's explanation: "We have been thinking about this individually for months."

Great, a generation of renewal and development in Pennsport wiped out in four hours.
Way to go Tad.
"He said the board -- which fashions itself kind of like a court of judges"
...As in Judge Judy, Judge Mathis, maybe even Judge Joe Brown!
Let's see what other havoc the gaming commision can create before the commercial break.
Don't blame Tad Decker and the gaming control board - blame Fumo and Rendell who wrote and passed the legislation - you voted for them.
A quasi-judicial process? What does this mean? They are not judges. It sounds like he is positioning themselves to fend of legal action.
Hmmm.
Fuck you and your kangaroo court, Tad.
Being the first one to yell "Bingo!" is all what is very important. The trends of playing the game might have changed and the electronic bingo and online bingo has replaced the traditional methods of playing the bingo game, nevertheless the excitement remains the game.
