I am a resident of massachusetts also know as taxachusetts for obvious reasons. Mass is in a fight whether to legalize gaming on Indian land or not i would love to get feedback on what others think in my opinion the jobs it would generate would be fantastic and may relieve some of the tax burden in this state the big dig cost us over 16 billion and every year who knows how much gaming money travels out of this state to foxwoods and mohegan sun which is only 2 hours away need to know what others think.

I am originally from Mass. I live in a state that now has legalized gambling and casino's already in place. It is wierd how there seems to always be so much hype before-hand about all the jobs having a casino will create but when it all comes down to it, there is not that much of a difference. The schools here are worse than in some states where gambling is not legal. But then again - you can vote no on it and then the government can turn around and say too bad, take the land away from whoever owns it because its "better for the community" and then do what they want with it anyway...

Gambling is not a bad idea, I like it so much, only that am not so lucky, most charities are supported by gambling-it is one you can become rich overnight!
