In anticipation of the upcoming debate about expanded gaming in Massachusetts, Tom Conroy, state representative for Lincoln, Sudbury, and Wayland, invites area residents to join him for a Forum on Expanded Gaming in Massachusetts on Thursday, September 24 at 7:30pm. The venue of the forum has not yet been finalized.
The forum will include:
- A presentation on current research on potential gaming in the state, such as resort-style casinos, slot machine parlors, racinos, etc.
- Discussion of the potential benefits and costs of each type of gaming, including the number of jobs that may or may not be created in the Commonwealth, the estimated amount of revenue the state could expect, the cannibalization affect on lottery revenues for towns and cities, and the estimated social costs.
- Questions and answers: The forum is intended to be interactive, so that questions and answers are part of the discussion throughout the evening.
Please watch for further details on the location. Constituents can forward questions before the event to Tom at Thomas.conroy@state.ma.us.
For questions or further information please call 617-722-2460 or e-mail Thomas.conroy@state.ma.us.
