I am quite disappointed today to see that the House of Representatives caved to Speaker of the house Sal DiMasi's usual politic antics and voted down Governor Patrick's casino bill. Apparently the House feels they can under DiMasi's leadership find hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue to replace casino gambling. They are:
1. Multiple bake sales in the Rotunda of the State House.
2. Two Democrats and two Republicans that support the bill will sell candy bars at the chamber doors before the next session.
3. Several spaghetti suppers planned throughout the next session.
4. A sausage booth on Yawkey Way during home Red Sox games.
All these and many more ideas will save Education, Local Aid and will bring thousands of jobs to the Bay State. Oh yeah one more thing, there will now be a booth located just prior to the Connecticut border with Massachusetts students in it waving and holding signs that say:
" Now leaving Massachusetts, and the Connecticut economy thanks you!"
