Bring Jobs and Growth to Massachusetts

Building resort-style casinos in Massachusetts will create:

• Thousands of jobs in construction, the service industry, and the non-casino private sector through small business development,

• $3 billion in new capital investment in the state’s economy, and

• Generate $400–600 million in new tax revenue—revenue the state can spend on schools, roads, healthcare and much more.

In such a tough economic climate, gaming will help jumpstart our economy and help us pay for vital government services. Consider the following:

• Casinos in Connecticut employee 19,000 workers,

• One third of that is thanks to us—Massachussets residents—who spent nearly $1 billion in gaming in New England last year, and

• In 2008, Massachusetts residents generated nearly $211 million in tax revenue—for Connecticut and Rhode Island!

I Support Gaming, Jobs & Growth!

Urge our legislative leaders to pass expanded gaming legislation. We want them to bring resort-style casinos, jobs, and increased revenue to Massachusetts. It’s time for our state to benefit from the gaming our residents are already doing.
