Independent Cost Benefit Analysis

Below, is a link to our new on-line USS-Mass Petition calling for an independent cost-benefit analysis, which includes an analysis of the costs and benefits for the State as a whole, and for the host communities and their neighbors.

Major policy changes in the Commonwealth must be fact-driven, transparent and informed by public participation.


Please take a few minutes to sign the petition below and join a growing list of organizations and responsible leaders, such as the Mass Chiefs of Police Association, the League of Women Voters, Governor Deval Patrick, Attorney General Martha Coakley, former Attorney General Scott Harshbarger and others who support the kind of analysis that our elected officials need before they can make a prudent decision.

Join us!

Regards,

Jessie

Re:

Independent Cost-Benefit Analysis of Expanded Gambling Proposals





WE, the undersigned citizens of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts , a state that has a long and proud history of advocating for social justice, working for policies that promote public health and consumer protection; do hereby request that the Governor and the Legislature execute proper due diligence by authorizing a comprehensive independent analysis of the costs and benefits of legalizing slots and casinos before any legislation is approved.
