"Because I Said so!"

Slots to Save Tracks!

Oh, My goodness!

Where have we heard that refrain?

From House Speaker Robert "Because I Said So" DeLeo!

Would someone please explain those recent election results to the Speaker?

Or maybe send him a link to United to Stops Slots in Massachusetts?

Maybe we can send him to Kentucky where his flawed rhetoric would fit right in --

The [slot] revenue would also tremendously help an ailing horse racing industry. The racing industry in Kentucky is storied, but has come under some difficult economic times as the economy in the US has slipped. The tracks have been pushing for new ways to help them stay financially viable.

Why does this flawed logic even make sense?

Only 3% of Massachusetts voters support slots at tracks. They get IT.

Mr. Speaker, please support an independent cost benefit analysis.

And, Mr. Speaker: No more Casino KoolAid for you!
