Subsequently, Boston Mayor Marty Walsh announced that the city would not meet the deadline with Wynn Resorts and stopped all talks with the casino company. Instead, he asked the Massachusetts Gaming Commission to determine the mitigation fee. Michael Weaver, Wynn's Senior Vice President of Marketing, said that Mohegan Sun's reopener clause "appears to be an effort to stifle competition and inhibit a fair and honest negotiation process." However, Mayor Walsh has said that the city is still missing critical information about the Wynn proposal, which is necessary in making an appropriate arbitration proposal. During a meeting on Tuesday, July 15, 2014, the Commission reviewed Walsh's decision to opt out of arbitration. While disappointed the parties could not reach an agreement, the Commission ultimately decided to move forward in setting the fee amount that Wynn Resorts would pay Boston.
