Opposition to Gov. Patrick’s Casino Proposal Grows
A statewide coalition led by Casinofacts.org is going public:
On Monday 10/29, there will be an announcement about the formation of a state-wide coalition to oppose Governor Patrick’s casino plan. This event will take place at 11am on the front steps of the Statehouse.
The coalition is a combination of religious groups, mental health organizations, business groups, social service agencies and citizen activist groups. They will be coming together under one banner to oppose the Governor’s plan to put casinos in three communities in Massachusetts. This is the start of the first organized opposition to this flawed “economic model”.
Casinofacts.org has put together strong arguments on the gambling industry and has posted links to solid research on its web site.
