Carefully isolated from the riff-raff and sleaze of commoners, Governor Slot Barns will move on to lofty heights when his legacy of community degradation, Gambling Addiction and Crime infest our communities and our Commonwealth.
What a pity Governor Slot Barns doesn't invite the Gambling Industry to make its home in Richmond, MA to allow him to experience up-close-and-personal the impacts of his legacy.

Candidate says he has what it takes to run
Casino: Holyoke or Palmer?

SPRINGFIELD, MA (WSHM) - State senators pass the casino bill Thursday. The 24-14 vote comes with implications that could change this state forever. Western Mass is on the brink of having a casino, and the state will be home to two more and a slot parlor. Two Western Mass towns are front-runners for the casino site.
"In Massachusetts, you never know when it comes to politics," says political analyst Tony Cignoli. "Now that the senate has passed this particular version and the house has passed its, and they're so close together. The thought is the governor will have this signed and done by Oct. 30 or Oct. 31."
So if Cignoli is right, gaming will be a go.
"Now the beauty contest, so to speak, really starts," he says.
Holyoke is in the game and it's seeking out the best developer for Western Mass. Meanwhile, another gaming hopeful is Connecticut-based casino Mohegan Sun. Mohegan Sun has its chips in the town of Palmer. Town council president Paul Burns says Palmer will be the best place here to play.
"Our location is going to enhance the economic developments opportunities. It's go to enhance the revenue to the state," Burns says. "It's going to come to a point where you want a casino in an attractive environment where you want to feel safe. I think Palmer is that site."
But Holyoke is the dark horse. While the city may be trailing in the gaming race, Cignoli, who has a big stake in Holyoke's casino plans, says the group is close to leveling the playing field.
"I think what you'll see in the course of the next few weeks, new players will come out, some major names that we've never seen before. I would dare say that Holyoke will have a unique announcement probably in the next couple of weeks."
Palmer is ready to break-ground if the gaming commissioners were to approve the Palmer site for a casino, according to Burns and Mohegan Sun officials. Holyoke is still looking for a developer. The state is looking for a $500 million dollar investment and that's money no one has dropped just yet.

Even though the Independent Casino Study Report indicated that it would cost the little Town of Palmer between $18 million and $20 million per year, in addtition to the $50 million to bring water from the Quabbin.
NEVER LET FACTS GET IN THE WAY OF PERSONAL GAIN AND CORPORATE GREED!
