The sale of Concord Casino is moving forward after an administrative judge ruled that the Attorney General does not have the authority to dictate the sale agreement terms between operator Andy Sanborn and the buyer.
In a decision issued on Friday, Judge Gregory Albert clarified that the Attorney General’s role is limited to acting as counsel and assessing the buyer’s suitability for charitable gaming.
The recent hearings between the Lottery Commission and Sanborn’s legal team left ambiguity regarding the Attorney General’s power to make line edits to the sale agreement. But, the Lottery Commission had warned the prospective buyer that the Attorney General might raise concerns about certain terms.
