Dear Casino-Free Milford Members,
Please join us tomorrow night at Milford Town Hall for the Milford Board of Selectmen’s meeting, which starts at 7:00 PM.
We urge everyone who can come early to stand with us outside Town Hall, starting at 4:00 PM, to hold signs and show solidarity as we stand together to urge our Selectmen to stop a destination resort casino from being built in Milford. We invite you to make and bring your own sign if you can, but we will also have signs available if you can’t.
Please wear RED! Our Milford sports teams wear red, and red has the added connotation of STOP!
When you arrive, please be sure to sign a petition declaring your opposition to the casino in Milford, if you have not already done so. We will have volunteers with clipboards at each door. These signatures will be distributed to all three Selectmen.
Casino-Free Milford co-chairmen John Seaver and Steve Trettel will deliver their presentation to the Selectmen starting at 7:20 PM. You won’t want to miss it—they plan to explain the reality of what happens to a community in the wake of casino development. Their presentation includes data obtained from the experiences of the communities surrounding the nearby Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun casinos in Connecticut, as well as from other casino projects in the country. Concerns to be addressed in their presentation include the impact on Milford’s neighborhoods, crime and safety, traffic, infrastructure, emergency services, social fabric, environment, and economy.
Help us spread the word about this critical event! Please bring as many friends, family members, and neighbors to stand with us as you can!
Casino-Free Milford
