When Cedric Cromwell spoke to the Middleboro Board of Selectmen, he addressed a range of soft ball questions from the Board and mostly provided non-answers.
.
One of those questions was the Tribe's publicly announced plans to conduct a FEASIBILITY STUDY possibly reducing the size of the initial proposal, whatever the initial proposal was since no detail was ever presented to the Town.

Tribal leaders said last month they expected to commission a study to see whether they should scale back those plans.

If the project is scaled back, he [Cromwell] said, it would be built with the ability to expand when the economy heats up. CCT

Some might wonder why Middleboro never conducted a FEASIBILITY STUDY. You know, the one that Rep. Tom Calter stood before the BOS and recommended how long ago? The one that any reasonable person might believe should have been conducted before Town Manager, Jack Healey plowed ahead giving away town owned land in an auction advertised in a local, weekly newspaper and set the bar too low?

Truth to Power provided information about the reported impacts of a commercial casino in Palmer: Citizen Committee including those non-English speaking students who have severely impacted towns surrounding the Casinos in Connecticut:
4. Faculty competent in various foreign language(s) to teach in the E.L.L. program.
Should this program have to be expanded as much as some of the Ct. surrounding
towns to the casinos where as many as 29 foreign languages are utilized to teach(3.),
the estimated cost would be:
$ 58,000.00 (per teacher/year @ current compensation rate) for 29 additional
Teachers (1 language/teacher) would represent $ 1,682,000.00/year in additional
teacher salaries on an annual basis.

teacher salaries on an annual basis.

Gee, do you think that if another town arrived at those cost projections, Middleboro's CRAC committee might have done the same? If Middleboro is looking at similar costs for the school, how far will $7 million go?

This is a subject the pros should have defended to the hilt. The swim coach/superintendent provided building repair numbers not the detail from Palmer. Did he think there would be something in that $7mill for him?
