Clergy in Revere and East Boston are watching today's planned vote by the state Gaming Commission on a Suffolk Downs casino in Revere.
"If that happens, we will pursue legal means," said Tim Bogertman, associate pastor of First Congregational Church of Revere. "That's something we're considering."
Bogertman and 22 other clergy yesterday signed a letter urging the commission to honor the Nov. 5 referendums in East Boston and Revere, when Suffolk Downs was proposing a casino resort in both communities. Revere voted yes, but East Boston rejected it.
Since then, Suffolk Downs has found a new casino partner, Mohegan Sun, and it has shifted the project onto the Revere portion of its property.
"We're concerned about what's happening to the democratic process," said the Rev. David Searles of East Boston's Central Assembly of God Church.
Trent Sheppard, a collegiate chaplain who lives in East Boston, said "all options are on the table," but he said the clergy might leave any legal action to the lay group No Eastie Casino.
