Left in Lowell's Lynne Lupien took on casinos, the Governor, and political consultant Dan Payne this morning on WBUR. Check it out.
Nice punditting, Lynne!
Please share widely!
Lynne vs. Casinos (and Dan Payne)
Reality-based commentary on politics.
I only caught the tail end, but you did well.
at the link in the post, if you want to hear the whole thing. Lynne rocked — as always!
And again, good work Lynne.

That comment from Dan Payne about the burden being on liberals to find revenue really bugged me. No, Dan, the burden is on the governor and full-time 200 member Legislature.
Also his suggestion that “liberals” don’t like casinos.

My sense is that you’ll find folks of each political tribe on either side of this issue (e.g., Kris Mineau).
And great job, Lynne!!
Between her own show and LeftAhead!, I have no doubts on Lynne’s ability to be the spokesperson on any issue. Such energy, such knowledge. I’ll leave the joke I want to put here for emails. LOL.
I am hoping that the energy sparked by the casino controversy will pull the issue of inadequate and inequitable taxation to the surface. The corporate loopholes need to go and the Legislature needs to be pushed hard.

Maybe we can find a clone to do your campaigning and then switch back to you for policy when you are elected.
… just wondering if I have any say. đŸ˜‰
