Paid Casino Cheerleader, Claude Barrow, always at his best with casino propaganda and studies and polls that prove what no one else is able to, who never clearly reveals his funding sources (yet another murky issue), revealed fading casino opposition in a poll conducted over 3 months that included 1,256 Massachusetts residents.

Did it take 3 months to contact 1,256 randomly selected residents? Did he call them himself? What's with this?

Does anyone ever notice that not only are Claude's funding sources never revealed, but his statistical sampling methods never are? Does anyone ever notice that his polling questions are never revealed either?

Or did anyone bother to tell Claude about this?:

Not that Claude would notice! For the fiscal survival of the Bay State, maybe we should pay closer attention to what's being proposed.

Casino Gambling is wildly profitable for the investors.
.
Casino investors can afford the best public relations firms, the best legal advice and the best strategists.

Casino investors can afford to rent a storefront in a small, rural community to provide the false facade and pretend "This really isn't about slot machines" when this is REALLY about slot machines.

75% of jobs created by casinos are LOW WAGE JOBS, offering no transferable skills and no opportunity for advancement.
