Maine: NO!

Congratulations to Maine for having the simple horse sense to recognize you can't gamble your way to prosperity!

In a 55 to 45 percent decision, voters decided against a state-wide referendum question that proposed racinos in Biddeford and Washington Couny on Tuesday.

Mayor Twomey: ‘It hurts’

...Casavant was more wary and wanted more details of the plans before lending his support.

Mayor Twomey ... In comments to a television crew shortly after she learned of her loss, she blamed anti-racino opponents in part for the outcome of the mayoral race.

“My opponent was bought and paid for by Casinos No!” said Twomey, who worked in close alliance with the pro-racino camp.


[Oh! The dastardly anti folks who are outspent, outmanned and shouted down by the $$$? Is it possible that those Maine folks had the sense politicians don't?]
