Beacon Hill Secret Meetings: What else is new?

Massachusetts voters who continue to express their disgust and outrage at the sleazy conduct of Beacon Hill will find no surprise that lawmakers were huddled behind closed doors to discuss Slot Barns and the legalization of Predatory Gambling.

So, what else is new? Have they failed to inform of Industry presence?

Well, it's not needed because minds are already made up.

So much for those sham hearings they conducted.

House Speaker "Racino" DeLeo sponsored incompetents for state patronage jobs and couldn't understand the public outrage.

Senate President "Cha Ching" Murray boasts that she never reads anything 'ANTI."
Nothing like informed leadership.

Ms. Shepherd got it right!

Massachusetts House leaders to huddle in Amherst on casinos, other key issues

Emmaladd Shepherd of Monson, co-president of Quaboag Valley Against Casinos, criticized House members for plotting casinos behind closed doors.

"I'm afraid there's going to be some agreement done in the backroom,"

Shepherd said on Monday.

"It will be a fait accompli. They will just announce it."

She said House members should air the issue in the open.
