BTW

It would seem that all the contenders for the democratic nomination for state representative in the 23rd Middlesex special election, are against casino gambling to a man. Sean Garballey derided the notion at his formal campaign announcement at the Sons of Italy, Jeff Thielman has spoken against class III gaming in the Commowealth during his personal appearances and Andrew O'Brien, the darkest of dark horses in the race has denounced the practice in a flyer.
It is also interesting to note that Jim Marzill won last year's special election to the fourth Middlesex state senate seat being the only anti-casino gambling candidate in four way democratic nomination fight.
This district just doesn't like slot machines and roulette wheels, there is no getting around that.
