Host & Surrounding Communities
Add your comments to the Massachusetts Gambling Commission and then sign the Petition to REPEAL THE CASINO DEAL!
We've seen what the proposals by Gambling
Interests have done to communities around the
Commonwealth.
Money
is lavishly spent, grand promises made that will never be fulfilled and grassroots
activists are
unable to compete.
Once approved, projects become 'Bait &
Switch,' such as Plainridge where a Mega Entertainment
venue
is now included. And Palmer where the proposal is not what was
promised.
Taunton, Plainville, Milford and Palmer lack
adequate water for the proposals.
Revenues and Jobs are grossly overstated and
the
truth is overshadowed by proponents.
[Easily disproven.] Jobs are mostly low wage,
lacking wages that will eliminate taxpayer
subsidies for food stamps, housing, etc.
Requisite infrastructure costs are
ignored. Suffolks Downs alone will cost ALL
Massachusetts taxpayers
+ $500 MILLION! Big Dig anyone?
All
this at a time of Gambling Market Saturation and
the industry's declining
revenues.
Will
we, as taxpayers, end up bailing out insolvent Gambling
interests?
This
makes no sense. Let's just be done with it!
Opponents of Predatory Gambling across the Commonwealth are gathering petition
signatures to add their voices and allow voters an opportunity to express their opposition on the ballot.
The site recently added a new feature:
Download
the petition and ask your friends
and
family to help put this on the ballot.
[Remember, names on a petition must all be from the same city/town. Download
another petition if you add a different community. Then just MAIL!]
Time
is growing short, so speak out NOW!
It's
time to protect ALL Massachusetts communities
