Casino Roll Call – My Bold
The Roll Call of voting in the House and Senate on the Casino bill reported out by the conference committee makes for very interesting reading. My bold for legislators from the Greater Lowell/Merrimack Valley area. This is from the AP and found on the WCVB-TV web-site:
“Here’s how members of the Massachusetts House and Senate voted Saturday on a bill to allow the licensing of three casinos and two slot machine parlors at the state’s existing racetracks. The House voted 115-36 in favor of the bill. The Senate approved the bill on a 25-15 vote. ”

Wow. My esteem of Finegold just went up about ten notches. Thank you Rep. Finegold!
I am so glad this bill is probably dead. All who voted for it ought to be ashamed of themselves. “Hi, I’m your elected representative and I want to see more people addicted to predatory gambling establishments in your back yard.”
Good to know the Andover contingent is so well educated and think things THROUGH.
