Apparently the notion of private property isn't so Eurocentric after all.

This where sane leadership from the Governor's office would normally prevail in decisive fashion. Why? Because not even an insane, pro-business-at-all-costs, red-meat eating conservative Governor would want a jumbo-sized gambling casino open for business in Fall River -- a fragile city, treading water, with its head just barely above the water line.
