From Casino Free Milford:

CASINO MYTH #1
A casino will never be built in Milford. It’s just not going to happen.

THE FACT IS THIS: Foxwoods is currently investing millions of dollars on consultants to design their development and determine the impact of their proposal on Milford. When reporting the amounts being spent by Foxwoods to Selectmen on May 6th, the Shefsky & Froelich attorney emphasized, “It shows they’re serious.”

A good chunk of those millions—nearly $600,000—has been dedicated specifically to strategic communication, public relations, and polling consultants. These funds probably include some walking-around money to do favors for groups in town to demonstrate what generous neighbors they would be. Foxwoods’ store front opened two weeks ago, and already Milford’s residents are being asked to take telephone surveys. We also expect that soon we will be subjected to a slick and sophisticated marketing campaign aimed at converting non-believers.

Foxwoods is here to stay. They are not going away without a fight. But we CAN stop this. Working together we can keep Milford Casino Free! Learn how on our website CasinoFreeMilford.com.
