Spend in Our State,
Invest in Our Future
In 2009 Massachusetts residents spent $900 million on gaming in Connecticut. Instead of raising an estimated $400 million in revenue for the Commonwealth, we paid for 3,000 teachers — in Connecticut! Bringing resort-style casinos to our state could allow us to significantly invest in our education system by:
- Hiring 6,233 new teachers, or
- Building 16 new elementary schools, or
- Sending 4,820 students to UMass — Amherst for 4 years
We're uniting to teach our politicians a lesson: it's time for Massachusetts to keep those dollars and invest in our children's future. Join us. Sign the petition today.
