It will bring JOBS!!! Permanent jobs, not just temporary construction jobs.

Massachusetts residents will actually be spending $$money$$ in Mass, not at Connecticut casinos.

And......don't give me that crap that nobody has money to spend at casinos,this is Massachusetts,the most PROFITABLE STATE LOTTERY IN THE COUNTRY!!! People in Mass. like to gamble, legally or illegally.

I have commented on legal gambling in Mass. before and again, I will remind all, about how N.H. put "booze shops" on the state line, many years ago.
It is my belief that as N.H. gets squeezed for cash, instead of doing what Mass. always does, and just jack up your taxes, they will put casino's on the state line also.
Then, you will have to contend with casino's to the North and to the South. Your SCREWED. Think about it.

Casinos...yeah this is a good idea...
Ever been to any casinos anywhere other than Nevada?
They tend to squeeze out every business within 10 miles of them...at least in the sale of alcohol or cigarettes...or restaurants...
Only thing that co-exists with casinos are pawn shops and used car lots....
Yeah great idea....

Gemini

Happy New Year Gemini! I hope you had a great night and I'm sure you can find a great hangover cure somewhere on the Net! You'll be able to learn a lot this year if you keep an open mind and discuss your opinions with more enlightened individuals. A romantic connection could be made via a friend, and is a strong possibility: it may also have something to do with last night....
