District 3 Councillor Frank Baker says he’s undecided about whether to have a citywide vote on an East Boston casino or limit a referendum to the neighborhood in which Suffolk Downs hopes to build its proposed gambling mecca. The Boston Herald first reported Baker’s move last week. “I want to see everything” before committing, Baker told the Reporter, City Hall’s Evelyn Friedman and Councillor Charles Yancey leap to referring to the potential deal that catch a falling mayor. Suffolk Downs will offer the city, such as infrastructure improvements, in exchange for a sign-off on a casino. Mayor tumbles, Baker, a supporter of casinos, noted to the Reporter in November that since a casino is likely to affect the entire Yancey reacts city, he supported a citywide vote, saying “opening it up to the city would Charles Yancey’s resume in- ensure that people’s concerns are met.” cludes a brief tenure as City Council An “informal” Herald poll last week president and his founding of an found district Councillors Mark Ci- annual book fair.

Page 8 THE Reporter June 14, 2012 Editorial Fairmount panel can help focus development An advisory group charged with advising the city and state on development priorities along the Fairmount Commuter rail corridor will meet for the first time this week. The group, convened by the BRA and picked from an applicant pool by the Mayor’s Office, can be useful in guiding both short and long-term decisions about what sort of uses can and should be the focus of government-backed projects along the rail corridor, which includes existing stations in Uphams Corner and Morton Street. New stations are being built at Four Corners, Newmarket, and Talbot Avenue, with a fourth new stop slated to be built near Blue Hill Avenue in Mattapan. The BRA says that this Fairmount planning effort will be the most ambitious since the 1980s, when the city led redevelopment planning along the Orange Line. The Fairmount expansion represents a $139 million investment by the state, but that sum could be dwarfed by the potential for large-scale private investment if proper planning allows for even more construction, redevelopment, and job growth along the line. In fact, the enhanced Fairmount Line — which is called the Indigo Line by some transit advocates—has Hundreds talk business already triggered some smart growth along and near its right of way.
