ya LOL, well you know I am NOT laughing out loud!
Mike, even if the town had a real town election yesterday and the question was on a ballot, I feel the results would have been much the same. the misinformed were tricked into believing that if the town doesn't accept the agreement that they would build the casino anyway and then we would get diddly squat. The pro casino people did a good job swaying people to their side with the help of the selectmen. If it passes all the things that need to happen, I hope a casino really does help this town, but I will believe it when I see it.
I grew up in Abington when there was no dept. store in town there either so I have no problem not being able to buy a pair of pants in town, it's not a big deal at all.Been here 19 years now, I have no plans to leave.
the selectmen cowtowed to the tribe and rushed this decision thru
they could have done WAY better for the town, it's NOT that lucrative believe me. There should have been more money for schools for one thing.
let me ask again, WHAT was the rush? they wanted to strike while the iron was hot and I have the sunburn to show that.
