Public, Reps Discuss Plans for MetroWest Casino

By Justin Saglio

During the question and answer portion of the meeting, area residents spoke out against the casino and asked how to stop it from being implemented.

John Pibeiro, a Winthrop resident, asked the meeting's attendees to sign a petition to repeal November's legislation that permits casino gambling in the state.

"Why would you ever want something that requires mitigation?" Pibeiro [Ribiero] asked.

"If in two years our property value tanks, what are we supposed to do?" Steve Guerrera, a Holliston resident asked.
