Casino Concerns in Palmer

As previously reported on this blog http://cfotruthtopower.blogspot.com/2007/10/my-letter-to-governor-patrick-august-12.html regional impact studies were not conducted by the Administration in the Patrick Casino Plan nor in the subsquent bill filed last week.

Channel 22 news in Springfield reports casino concerns in Palmer http://www.wwlp.com/Global/story.asp?S=7204848&nav=menu600_1 about siting a casino in the community that does not have the infrastructure to support a large scale casino enterprise.

The state needs to mandate that developers pay for independent studies with full disclosure of conflicts of interest and prohibitions for future employment with the casino industry.
