Those whom want casino's like Deleo, Pacheco and Murry need to lose their next election....or we will create a state with losers that those whom do things correct...will have to support. AIG, GM....allowing casino's is a shortsighted solution, as was bailing out AIG, and GM.... We really need to avoid this huge mistake. Sure licensing will give the state a one time boost to temporarily fix our budget problems....but this is only a band aid and will re-suface.. Tell you senator, representative or selectmen...lets get rid of the waste....not create more of it. No disrespect, but since the Casino always wins, the result is casino’s produce losers.

Would you really want a casino in your town or city? Get some real facts before it's too late. Everyone is a NIMBY. I get the sense that maybe, if anywhere, casino's belong in metro areas, but I'm sold on them.I think the jobs and revenue claims may be stretched a little bit.

Relying on addiction to fund social programs is just a viscious circle. What we need is real jobs, that produce something benefical to society, or at least are not harmfull.

Any new bill has a chance but thats about it. As far as jobs and revenue: All the high paying jobs will go to qualified people, dealers, managers, security. The bulk of the oppurtunity lies within the min. wage sector. And revenue? Let me just bring up Ciggy tax, meal tax etc. The were all going to be the icing on the cake, and the has been pushed down our throats for years. We don't need casinos, they'll bring new, costly (there goes the revenue)problems to the state. The casino bill lost by a huge margin last year. Any new bill has a chance but thats about it.
