Dan Keating, a Philly based contractor and construction
manager (he built Liberty Bell Center and the Sugarhouse,) was charged with
ginning up positive feelings about the Wynn Philadelphia proposal. Now, though,
he's working for Market8, a casino which he gave failing grades in his
assesment of all six proposals.
Wasting no time at all, The Provence blasted Keating's team
switching on twitter:
The Provence @PhillyProvence : “Market8
Project sucks a lot. Oh wait, maybe just a little.”
While working for Wynn, Keating set up a war room where he
brought community leaders, journalists, and public officials to see exhibits
that ranked and graded all six proposals. Market8 ranked dead last in all of
his categories. Perhaps, though, in his role as a Wynn advocate, Keating ranked
Market8 last because he privately felt that it was the best contender for the
casino license.
Regardless of his private feelings, his public stance has
reversed completely: "We now believe that in every important respect, the
Market8 project stands head and shoulders above all other proposed projects,
and that this is an opportunity that it would be unfortunate for the city and
commonwealth to miss."
