Did you ever notice that the Gambling Vultures promote the GREAT success of the Mystic Seaport as proof of the success of the CT Slot Parlors?
Of course, they can't produce a study because staff has been slashed and the numbers? Well.....they're kinda....sorta...vague.
So no one can really provide hard numbers, real facts to justify anything...well, other than the detrimental effects of slot parlors, increased crime, increased DUIs.
Mystic Seaport Lays Off 18 Employees
Museum's President Cites Declining Endowment

Mystic Seaport laid off 11 percent of its staff this week, officials said, as part of an effort by the museum to find savings and efficiencies of about $1.5 million.
The 18 full-time employees were notified Monday that they had been laid off. Museum President Stephen White held a meeting Tuesday morning with the remaining staff of about 145. White said that with the endowment down 37 percent from last year, staff members were aware that he and the museum's board were looking for ways to cut costs and increase revenue.
White became museum president in January and spent the next months preparing a budget for the new fiscal year, which begins May 1.
