The facts are irrefutable: we're exporting $1 billion a year to the CT casinos and RI slot parlors and the anti-casino yokels want to dictate how we live our lives. Next Friday morning, my mother, aunt and her neighbor will all get in her car, and three 65-year-old North Andover residents will drive to Foxwoods. On Friday night, gamble a little, eat at one of its steakhouses, and overnight in one of its hotels. On Saturday morning, they'll have a buffet breakfast, and then play high-stakes bingo throughout the afternoon. Then they'll have dinner at one of the restaurants, gamble a little, and overnight again at the hotel. On Sunday morning, they'll get up, gamble a little, have a buffet breakfast, gamble a little more, and then mid-day, check out of the hotel and drive home to Andover. They'll have had a wonderful time. And the "we'll tell you how to live your life crowd" that's personified by the Harshbargers, Tuckers, Casino Facts, and other common scolds of the Commonwealth, will have done their part to encourage three little old ladies from the Merrimack Valley to spend their time and money creating tax revenues, jobs and tourism growth in southeastern Connecticut.
