Looks like the previously discredited Clyde's been counting license plates again to justify his gravy train! Did Clyde bother to tell you that Foxwoods defaults more than a year ago, Mohegan Sun is working to 're-structure' their massive debt and Twin River just emerged from a bankruptcy in which the host community lost local control, greyhound racing - the pretext for which a Slot Barn was approved - was eliminated and the state is actually providing funding?
Well....never mind. You'll find out soon enough when the first monster duplicates Twin River's bankruptcy.
Ever notice the specious arguments some uninformed folks use to justify Predatory Gambling?
So bunches of travelers are venturing across Massachusetts borders to embark from out-of-state locations, yet Massachusetts is moving to close the Worcester airport.
Is Clyde counting the Massachusetts license plates in New Hampshire parking lots where consumers are spending massive amounts to avoid sales taxes, liquor taxes and cigarette taxes?
Do you hear the hew and cry? Do you see the Beacon Hill crowd rushing to lower the sales tax to re-capture those lost revenues?
Oh! I get it! School vacation and Clyde felt neglected, needed a little attention. Poor baby!
No where in any single piece of paper has Clyde ever told you what this disaster will cost.
As a paid Gambling Industry Shill, that's not his job!

DARTMOUTH, Mass. (WWLP) - Massachusetts residents spent nearly 1-billion dollars at New England casinos last year. That's according to a new report by the Center for Policy Analysis at UMass Dartmouth.
Since the C.F.P.A. began publishing its annual report in 2004, Massachusetts residents have spent more than 8.7 billion dollars at New England casinos and slot parlors, generating more than 2-billion dollars in tax revenues for Connecticut, Rhode Island and Maine state governments.
Massachusetts is currently in the process of licensing three resort-style casinos and one slots parlor in the state, which are expected to be fully operational within 3 to 5 years.
