When casino giant Wynn showed off plans for its Hudson Yards West casino proposal last month, it enlisted progressive heavyweights to make the case that the venture would be a jobs bonanza for poor and working-class New Yorkers. The endorsements were full-throated and infused with hope and promise.

Christine Quinn, the head of Win and a former City Council speaker, spoke of “thousands of jobs for homeless moms.”
