Deval Patrick may consider supporting slots and casinos in Massachusetts
While I’m against gambling I am very much in favor of Massachusetts licensing a very, very big casino so that the state can hold on to a good chunk of the money that is now spent by Mass residents at tribal and commercial casinos in Connecticut, New Jersey, Nevada, New York and other states.
The Boston Herald reports that Governor-elect Deval Patrick is open to considering allowing slots and maybe even a casino in Massachusetts, although he sounds less than enthusiastic about it.
Let’s do it. Let’s legalize slots at the race tracks and let’s license a big casino. The annual windfall for the state coffers could be a half billion dollars a year, give or take, possibly at little extra cost to Massachusetts residents (given the assumption in the paragraph above).
