There is nothing in the IGA to prevent it. <br /><br />When a process is rushed, the public is excluded, omissions happen...or elected officials are led down the Yellow Brick Road. <br /><br />And how about water????<br /><br />Tribes have priority water rights. <br /><br />How about the Assawompsett Pond Complex? <br /><br />Just as the Middleboro scam was rushed and ignored many issues, the Taunton/Genting IGA will destroy Taunton because too few questioned.

Several clergy and lay delegates provided powerful testimony during the discussion. Because the amendment was passed unanimously, many clergy (ministers) indeed spoke out. An ad hoc committee will be gathering study materials. The parish of St. James in Great Barrington and our partner parish St. George (of Lee)spent several weeks educating our congregations and many letters were written to our legislators (Downing and Pignatelli) who did not vote for the 3-casino deal.

Hence by omission [supported by our govts] the gambling industry can claim 'no prior knowledge' of any likely usage of embezzled funds. It is a neat trick...sadly even the activists here for gambling reforms have not yet apparently come to grips with the lack of transaction records for slots gamblers...and what the lack of records allows to happen... right under our noses! <br /><br />Bill Kearney has been writing about this for years and Bill is spot on I believe. It amazes me that the issue has not been better picked up upon in Australia. Not all slots gamblers here [by a long shot] have their gambling spending recorded on loyalty cards and none have 'blanket coverage' ie their spending recorded 'across the board' even state-wide! <br /><br />Individual gambling venues in Australia are a lot closer together than US casinos are, so any slots gambler is quite likely to attend 4 or 5 venues for gambling. Addicted gamblers can easily 'venue hop' so optional OR mandatory individual 'casino customer cards' would not work so well here as in the US to detect over-gambling. However that IS what is required to keep track of customer over-spending, especially to get alerts to embezzlement etc.<br /><br /> Consequently any move towards 'mandatory / state-wide customer cards'has been widely refused by the gambling industry under the lofty banner of 'losing freedom rights' and we have played along with that ploy, to our own detriment. It is rubbish and until we face the fact that all slots gamblers MUST have mandatory customer ID cards that record individual spending patterns and amounts...we will never get full and effective gambling reforms.Libby Mitchellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-382861050640300397.post-59564092232125159062012-10-10T18:20:01.830-04:002012-10-10T18:20:01.830-04:00How can casino gambling be referred to as a field ...How can casino gambling be referred to as a field to study in terms of 'economic development' when it produces nothing of worth...and it employs so very few people for the money it takes from communities? I am sick of all of the wet excuses for why projections have not been reached. They were rubbery advertising tactics to begin with...and certainly ignored the very significant HARMS that would come to citizens...even those who do not gamble. All up I see that the claim that casinos bring some sort of 'economic development' from gambling expansion [implying that good has come], has been the most unfair claim. It was a misleading and criminal deception of the people!Libby Mitchellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-382861050640300397.post-5108325971456052232012-10-05T21:59:44.178-04:002012-10-05T21:59:44.178-04:00Quite right!

The internet has the potential to beat them as it gives ordinary citizens a real voice...the ability to find people of like mind, to create effective action, to stand up and be counted...to challenge the status quo. What is more citizens can 'go global' so collectively they pose a real threat to controlling powers that be. <br /><br />I can only hope that we can join together across the world, if necessary, so that any potentially harmful court action could be so heavily objected to, resisted and publicized as being outrageous, that maybe individual jurisdictions would think twice before letting such rubbish actions get to court!<br /><br />I visualize a sort of "Amnesty International" type group that could form to raise awareness, to make protest powerful.
