Opposition is growing

With growing understanding of the impacts of predatory gambling comes growing opposition.

The following from our good friends up north --

Against Expanded Gambling

Check out this UNH Survey Center poll released today on Mass voter preferences on slots casinos. (Note that the debate and level of voter awareness of the issue is more advanced than in New Hampshire, given Governor Patrick's past casino legalization proposal, which included slots at tracks which he now opposes.)

38% oppose all slots casinos
26% don't know or have no preference33% want resort casinos
3% want slots at tracks

Hey, Millennium, time to pack your bags.

And, New Hampshire candidates, recall the November, 2009 UNH polling data showing that twice as many New Hampshire adults would be upset if casinos were legalized compared with those upset if they were not legalized.

Political risk ranking for New Hampshire candidates, riskiest to safest:

1. support slots at tracks
2. support any type of slots casino
3. oppose slots casinos
