MGM Mirage boss actually listening to advice?

Could it be that MGM Mirage boss Terry Lanni is actually

listening to a Sun columnist’s advice? No, not mine. But remember when Sun boss Brian Greenspun urged Lanni to run for governor a few weeks back? Could he really be thinking about it? I ask after this week’s events — the first broad-based tax proposal in five years and the news, as he told the Sun’s Liz Benston, that he is “trying to find a solution to the bigger problems of the state.” Hey, isn’t that the governor’s job? Lanni has been mentioned in the past as a possible contender for the U.S. Senate in California, where he still maintains a residence. But here? As governor? Big question, though: Could he get any other gaming companies to support him?
