Station Casinos kerfuffle: After I noted in the last newsletter the overtures presidential contenders have been making to the Culinary Union in their long standing fight with Station Casinos, CBS News’ Alexander Tin reported that two of Warren’s advance staff members crossed the picket line and stayed at the Palms, a Station Casinos property, in May and June and that one of Station Casinos’ board members, Dr. James Nave, donated $5,600 to Biden’s campaign.
For her part, Warren has described the move as a “mistake” and said it “won’t happen again.” A Biden spokesman told CBS that the campaign is “proud of all the contributions” it has received in the state, despite a call from the union that Democrats return donations from Station Casinos executives.
