Others highly praise Senator Spilka's legislative work, but what the Senator said this week was that the casino legislation currently being considered in Senate would create jobs and that NO ONE has disputed that. Beg to differ!
Sorry, Senator! But I attended your carefully scripted Love Fest as well as the Sham Hearings that were held.
It might appear that a hearing test would be in order, but since your hearing seems unimpaired, a case of amnesia perhaps? (Is the PC term "Memory Impaired" or simply "Selective Hearing" over the shouts of well paid lobbyists?)
Kathleen Norbut testified before you and her testimony and presentation is available on the United to Stop Slots in Massachusetts web site, under this heading --
Kathleen Norbut - President, United to Stop Slots in Massachusetts
•Written Testimony
•Cost Benefit Poster
•Video of Presentation to the Committee
Ooops!
Who is Beacon Hill catering to? Just the Casino Industry?
Even the Spectrum Report prepared for the CT DOSR addressed "cannibalization" - losing local jobs because of the presence of glorified slot parlors.
That Spectrum Report? It's available here.
