Keep Milford Casino-Free

Dear Chairman Crosby, Governor Patrick and Members of the Massachusetts Legislature

I have signed this online petition to express my opposition to the proposed development of a destination casino in Milford.

I believe a destination resort casino, sited in a residential area, will be an assault on our quality of life: making our community less safe, cannibalizing existing businesses, causing long-term job loss, and creating and intensifying destructive social problems.

No amount of money or other enticements can mitigate the adverse impact that a casino will have on our neighborhoods and the greater region.

Casinos fail to provide long-term solutions for local and state economies and undermine smart, quality growth and job development.

A casino and the multitude of problems it brings with it is no legacy for our children and those who come after us.

Please reject the development of a casino in Milford.

Sincerely,

[Your name]
