Patrick Skeptical of Cahill’s PlanGovernor Deval Patrick has a problem with State Treasurer Timothy P. Cahill’s plan to bring in slot machine parlors. Cahill wants to bring in three slot machine parlors around the state, and so far has been getting a lot of support for the idea. Many say that it could be a great way for them to bring in additional income for the state, and save many budget cuts from happening. However, Patrick says that resort casinos are a better idea. He is afraid that if they bring in these smaller slot machine parlors that they will trump the “long term benefits” of the larger casinos. He said that the larger casinos bring more money and more jobs than the smaller ones and that by approving them they could be doing more harm than good. He says that there are higher “human costs” in a smaller slot machine parlor setting as well. He says that larger resort style casinos don’t have that high of a human cost and they do more economically for the state than the smaller ones do. He says that they have to be very careful in making this move, because whatever they decide they have to live with it for a long time. But other lawmakers say that it is a good idea, although they do say that they are not sure where Cahill is getting his numbers from. They say that Cahill may be overestimating how much money the slot machines would actually bring in, but they say that if they are right they would be more than willing to approve them.
