the yea say nay...

Just when you think you've heard it all, the great people of Maine speak again.This time biting the hand that feed them.Not a good move in my oppinion.
Well atleast I don't have to listen to Bailey from casino-no spill out his bull on the ill of gambling. Of course one thing for sure with Bailey he is a nay on gambling.I must add that is his business with few other questionable side shows.But he is consistent with opposing gambling.
I think its time we allow the cards to be dealt.May the strong prosper an the weak fade away.It is apparent we do not have the leadership to show us the way,so we the people must lead.One thing for certain is market will call the cards...

times they are a changing...

No one is quiting the board? No one on the board up in arms about the gambling changes in Maine.
My, times change so fast in Maine. Wasn't just a short while ago that the board had one of its members quit(or threaten)over the expansion of gambling.
Maybe it was just one of Casino-No's savy maneuvers to influence the voting public, Of course that's my opinion.
How about the list of opposing Government people(current and past) and private parties that so vocally spoke out agaisnt Maine and the gambling saga. Now were have they gone, I would guess they all approve of gambling.
In all honesty I have not changed my mind of how I feel about gambling. Nor do I change my oppinion of any matter that I feel strongly about, and from what I read so many others did too at one time.
Do we live in a hypocritical state of mind in Maine.
Or my point... was it just the Maine tribes we opposed in allowing the ticket to ride. Ya, maybe...
How about the Penobscot's asking for a expansion with slots at thier high stakes bingo hall. That was a no, but hollywood slots gets a free ride with a county wide vote for table games. Is this expansion without all of Maine's approval.
Sure does look like that more an more to me. Just look, who's got the free ticket now.
Maine the way life should be...times they are a changing or are they.

had again...

I feel sorry for the State of Maine...

We slammed the Passamaquoddy and Penobscots for trying to bring Vegas style gaming to Maine. And our very own Maine Elite slips the card under the table and invites them in to play. Just who are we here in Maine, Morons.

Well in all honesty I've been to the slot warehouse in Bangor and laughed ,this is a resort.I may check out Oxford, if I can find it.

But until Maine gives back to our Tribes. Maine, in my eyes will deal snake eyes.
