Help stop the proposed Horseracing track in Massachusetts!

Can you take two minutes to help stop a new horseracing track in Massachusetts?

The Board of Selectmen in the Town of Hardwick, MA are considering a proposal for a new horseracing facility. This is the most recent attempt in the past few years to bring thoroughbred racing back to the state - all in an effort to grab the lucrative Sports Betting Subsidy. These proposals have recently been shot down by residents in communities like Great Barrington and Sturbridge with ongoing public opposition and protest right now in Plymouth. While there are many large questions about traffic, disrupted neighborhoods and the possible seedier element -there is, of course, another cost to all this – one measured in lives! 

Please take action and sign the petition to urge the Board of Selectmen to vote NO on the Horseracing Facility Proposal.
