And so it grows ....

As more questions are asked and more people review the numbers, casino gambling is exposed for the failed public policy it is.
.
The numbers simply don't add.
.
Well, they don't add except for the casino investors.
.
And Middleboro's annual contribution is limited to $7 Million some years down the road.

Here's a link to a recent forum in Weston on casino gambling. http://www.wickedlocal.com/weston/homepage/x1925662940 Please note the reference in the casino bill, "Patrick’s proposal plainly admits that 1 in 20, or 250,000 people, in the state could become problem gamblers and mocked his proposed $50 million mitigation fund for problem gamblers." The number of increased problem gamblers outweighs the potential jobs created by 12:1 ratio.
