Voters Approve Casino Referendum
Wednesday November 7, 2007
Casinos in Massachusetts could be one step closer to reality. Tuesday voters in the city of Chicopee approved a non binding referendum to approve a casino for their city. The victory was slimmer than expected winning by only 256 votes. Governor Patrick has filed legislation that would allow three resort casinos, including one in western Massachusetts. Chicopee was one of the cities vying for the casino if the legislation for casino gambling is approved.
