I've heard that "he said towns in CT with casinos don't pay taxes." thing a number of times.

I've always assumed he misspoke and meant that the casinos in CT don't pay taxes to the towns.

But what do I know? I don't recall where the original quote come from.

Is Wayne Perkins the self-described 'chief negotiator' because he was involved in back room, behind the scene deals before anyone caught on?

Assuming he was 'chief negotiator,' he said towns in CT with casinos don't pay taxes.

The town's budget was about $70 million this year.

Wayne, why didn't you begin negotiations at $70 million with an escalation clause instead of hotel rooms that will be comped for a hotel that won't be built and won't deliver what was promised?

Who cares what Clyde "Opinion-for-Hire" Barrows says?

Now that Sol Kerzner is no longer backing the Middleboro mega-bingo hall, maybe we can get him to pay Clyde to say that casinos are a bad idea in MA?

Bumpkin,

I am sorry to challenge you, having just been called a Commie Pinko but can you explain your title? Clyde pisses me off all the time!

BB,

How dare you point out that Clyde thought the deal was a bad one and now thinks it is a good one! The reason is simply, Clyde forgot he needs to shill for EVERY casino deal that comes into New England.

Clyde is back on track(get it track) and willing to gladly take whatever money the town/tribe or new/old investors would like to give him to fund a (hee hee) STUDY.
