SPRINGFIELD — State Rep. Angelo J. Puppolo Jr. asked Tuesday for MGM Resorts CEO William Hornbuckle to return to Springfield, this time to meet with the legislative delegation and address MGM Springfield's future. 'They came in here with a whirlwind of promises,' he said. 'Pardon the pun, I want them to put the cards on the table.' Puppolo, D-Springfield, is dean of the city's delegation. He said Tuesday he's also looking for data from MGM detailing hiring, full-time versus part time, women and minority hiring and how many employees are from Springfield and from surrounding towns, specifically Wilbraham, East Longmeadow, Monson and Hampden.
