Holyoke Mayor Shifts Stand On Casinos Again

Alex Morse

In a dizzying development, the young mayor of Holyoke Massachusetts has reversed his position on the casino issue for the second time in less than a month.  Mayor Alex Morse now says he will not entertain any casino development proposals in Holyoke.    WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill  spoke with Mayor Morse.

The record-setting tenure of Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno. The 2011 tornado and its recovery that remade the largest city in Western Massachusetts. The fallout from the deadly COVID outbreak at the Holyoke Soldiers Home. Those are just a few of the thousands and thousands of stories WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill has covered for WAMC in his nearly 17 years with the station.
