BROCKTON--State Treasurer Steven Grossman announced this morning he has named Enrique A. Zuniga to the newly created Massachusetts Gaming Commission.
Zuniga is currently the executive director of the Massachusetts Water Pollution and Abatement Trust, an agency under the auspices of the treasurer's office.
Issuing the statement, Grossman said he has named Zuniga to the gaming commission because "his substantial background in issues related to finance, securities, public procurement, auditing, and regulatory affairs will be invaluable as the Commission moves forward with the implementation of gaming in Massachusetts.
Zuniga, 45, a Jamaica Plain resident, joins two other named members of the commission.
Under the new gaming legislation signed by Gov. Deval Patrick in November, the governor chooses one member of the commission, as does Grossman and Attorney General Martha Coakley.

Patrick has named Stephen Crosby, a former CEO, secretary of Administration and Finance, and dean of the McCormack Graduate School of Policy and Global Studies at UMass, Boston.
Crosby will be the commission's chairman.
The Commission must be bipartisan, with no more than three members representing the same political party. The full Commission must be appointed by March 21, 2012.
The remaining two members will be appointed by two out of the three appointing authorities.
