2. State Sen. Richard T. Moore (D-Uxbridge) recently spoke to students at Milford High School. Among the questions students asked: Does the senator support the Milford casino plan? According to a release from his staff, Moore responded: "There are positive and negative features to the proposal, but I don't get to vote on it. On the positive side, there will be additional local revenue and jobs; and on the negative side there's the added traffic and possible harm to area restaurants."
