Reactions to the Milford Vote to Reject Foxwoods Massachusetts Casino

Today the voters of Milford have spoken and overwhelmingly declared to keep Milford casino free.

From our very first meeting held around a kitchen table, we acknowledged that we would be fighting a David vs. Goliath battle. We knew we would never be able to match the dollars of the Foxwoods’ campaign. We also knew that money does not buy you everything, and so we focused our efforts where they would count the most—on the people of Milford—by spreading our message slowly, friend to friend, neighbor to neighbor.

Our goal was always to seek out the truth and to provide unbiased, factual information to residents. We started small, but as our message of protecting Milford’s future spread, our numbers grew. We are proud to have met so many wonderful people this past year.

On behalf of everyone at Casino-Free Milford, we want to extend our sincerest gratitude to every resident, every business owner, and all our other friends who contributed financially to support our cause. We also thank our dedicated and tireless volunteers who have sacrificed so much of their time to help us reach as many residents as we possibly could. We worked together, and we prevailed. Thank you.
