Bucci, former CEO of the dog-racing track and gaming facility in Lincoln, and Potter, former CEO of the park's former British parent company, were scheduled to begin serving sentences at 2 p.m. today for conspiring to bribe former House Speaker John B. Harwood. On Oct. 28, U.S. District Judge Mary M. Lisi sentenced Bucci to three years and five months in prison, and sent Potter to prison for three years. She ordered both men to report to federal prison by 2 p.m. today. Bucci reported to the Fort Devens prison camp in Ayer, Mass., at 12:46 p.m. today, the spokeswoman said. Potter is due to report to the Allenwood low-security prison in White Deer, Pa. Bucci and Potter were convicted of scheming to bribe Harwood with up to $4 million that was to be paid to his law firm, McKinnon & Harwood, to secure state approval for more video slot machines and to block a Narragansett Indian casino. The payments were to be disguised as bonuses for Harwood's law partner, Daniel V. McKinnon, who'd done legal work for the track.
