Plainridge Forum Thursday June 13th

Gambling Addiction and CRIME increase with PROXIMITY.
Studies have shown the increase within a 50 mile radius, and then again within a 10 mile radius.

It is known that the sole Slot Barn license will be expanded and will NOT remain Slots-In-A-Box.

Please raise your concerns and ask questions now. There will be NO Do-Overs.

The "Opposition Forum"HELP NEEDED

Town Administrator Joe Fernandes has given the "opposition" the same opportunity to get a forum together and use Wood School as he extended to Plainridge. He contacted me last week, and I told him that I would need some time to get some speakers together. The No Plainville Racino Forum will take place just before the referendum vote in late August or early September. I could really use some help with the planning, so, if you're interested, please send an email back to let me know how best to contact you.
