How Western Massachusetts House Members Voted on Casino Issue

A "yes" vote was in favor of sending the bill to a study committee, which kills the bill; a "no" vote was against sending the bill to committee, which would have kept it alive.

Rather then have 3 cosinos in the State put the slot machines in all the Bars and private clubs and some restaurants,with 10 machines to start in each place with a permit to have them,as they add more they pay more for a permit,maybe they could put some in Hotels,also at the Big E in W/Spfld,you can put more machines out thru out the State,not just in 3 places.

My sister works in one of the casinos in Connecticut. She wants to thank the Western Massachusetts House Members who voted "YES" on the casino issue for keeping those Massachusetts dollars pouring into the State of Connecticut.
