Weinstein contributed to Democratic candidates, and Republicans had a lot of fun connecting him to any Democrat within range. Steve Wynn has not only been a contributor to Republican candidates, he was chairman of the Republican Finance Committee. Practically every Republican office holder, and a significant number former office holders, have benefited from Wynn's efforts.

What are we going to hear about various Republicans and their connections to Steve Wynn? Whoa, I didn't expect to hear so many crickets in January!

A whole community had their homes taken from them, via eminent domain, and they were destroyed to make room for a tunnel to a small island area off the beaten path. After the $25 Million state project was completed, to create the roadway for Wynn's casino. Wynn cancelled the project. A tunnel to nowhere.
