Milford: Another 'Fact-Avoidance' Community!

Walton: Straight answers sought from state

The MetroWest Daily News

Posted Sep 15, 2013

Over the past few months I have attended several of the public meetings held on the proposed Foxwoods casino, trying to gather as much information as possible from both sides of the discussion.

I've found it very frustrating that on more than one occasion, important questions posed to Foxwoods representative and the Board of Selectmen by citizens in attendance were often dismissed with " the State will be responsible for that" OR "the State mandates that" OR "that will be up to the DOT (Department of Transportation)"

I am looking forward to the open forum on Wednesday, September 18th organized by Casino Free Milford and would like to publicly thank Representative John Fernandes for his willingness to participate in this discussion.

I am hopeful that he will provide Milford citizens with more details on the State's responsibility in this process.
