Massachusetts Senator Michael W. Morrissey tried to get the pro-casino/anti-internet gambling bill tacked onto a piece of legislation that passed the Senate last week.

The amendment would have given voters a chance to decide for themselves whether they want to add three casinos while criminalizing internet gaming in their state. Now the casino bill will have to pass through normal, unexpedited channels. Senate President Therese Murray ruled that the amendment to the bill was “wholly unrelated” and out of order.

However, the presidential primary date may be moved up from March 4 to February 5, and is expected to give Hillary Clinton a lead over former Massachusetts governor and Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
