" And sitting and -- rally along about how we car show. 1877. Howie Carr 18774694322. The idea bring in more legalized gaming to New England is there. Right in the front burner I think is not a terrible idea. I know that sort of qualified -- I don't think it's a terrible idea I think is pretty good idea actually. I think it's the be all and end all null we all know all listen this is nothing out there that's the meal on the handle and there's nothing that solves every single problem. If you are going to be honest about it you know look at -- situation say okay. What do you do. In this case I think it makes sense. I think if you're talking about the creation of a lot of jobs. I think you're talking about the creation of a lot of jobs at the very beginning. And throughout the course of having casinos. -- the wrong types of jobs. How many times that we are they -- the wrong types of jobs they're service jobs why why they're not good enough for people I have news story. If you're not working today than any job you're gonna get is good enough for. And I'm really getting a little sick and tired of people say well Larry I'm too good for this job this is not enough for me this if you're not working today. If you have cloned yourself. Taking money from others. Many job want to be good enough right. Got used to be the philosophy in this country no it isn't anymore I know that there are those who look at public assistance and see a career path. But for those of us who still have that sense of personal responsibility some integrity. -- mindset that says it it really is better for us not. To be dependent on others if at all possible. Then by all means. Let's build a casino. 1877. Howie -- 187746943. -- let's head on over to Leo Leo welcome to rally car show. Thank you. That the truck yeah thank you sir."

" An area that hasn't been covered Q -- I haven't heard it coverage. Is you have for every job we create. You have local jobs that are lost. Have you ever seen successful rush crimes soon clothing stores and other types of retail. Our establishments. And called human sports bars how well do they used to."

" As a matter how little you know I actually don't know to bringing them running out no that's not journalists shouldn't go anyplace else that's not that's not true Leo. Does not try this that's not true exactly we've taken. Not sure why I'm gonna do that right now what you need to do is take a look at places where."

" Casinos have been established. You find that you have convenience stores we go in there's all sorts of convenience stores did you. -- restaurants outside of the casinos you have a whole bowl orange. -- love -- individual store operations Atlantic City is a good example of this Atlantic City didn't have a supermarket. Before casinos came to town. And now what does you have movie theaters that go with now. Can some Kissinger certainly do have the casinos who try and monopolized pivotal question about that I we we both understand them but oh you mean what is what are. Leo. If in fact -- look at Mohegan Sun as the example I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing when you look at that and say okay. Since the government has all of these controlled power since the government is going to tell them exactly how they can build when they can build where they should build. In the government women and then the government the licensing agency the administration would every want to call it also says okay here a few things that are not going to be in place there."

" It has voted here and it's because they are not running around and getting their hands what else is no. This is someone else is new. I know you know I'd like when you change government we need new people. For its always the same old thing no let's go. You know he's viewed show of the Fed argued Oden with the wing argument. Those. This new business this one quick story now we know all. Present -- promised its third but comments I'll connect. I mean 9% of all Americans. Are around -- Unfortunately we elect the other 1%."

" And would that would probably agree all right let me. Computed Jeff Jeff welcome rally car show."

" It is -- thanks. Com and of course they like to point out. That property tax situation and I mentioned you know -- property sector. You're -- property tax break you -- back. I think it's open and in tourism put it on renters part of our illegal aliens. Pick up -- let me shift to dollar Johnny geology of the Senate senate now. -- shipped -- to the people who. Don't -- go back to illegal immigrant. And -- the third part of the store we'll -- said the challenge to be construction worker. We'll illegal immigration is just on the am I live in North Carolina. And I'm from Massachusetts originally. So -- have -- callers say that. Instead he liberals want to keep if you go to hell. I'm now help. Conservatives -- you have any effect. Did this and they'll tell you liberals are keeping your casino. Because not -- I'd just finally -- water. They got a conservative."

" Well listen. --"

" Yeah and then there's a lot of politics that -- no question about it there's always a lot of politics goes in the stuff that's a matter of who gets a pay off. Now could be a direct payoff could be an indirect playoff. You know in some cases you've got the under the little bag men walking around they're paying off the legislators and the rest and in some cases is more virtual. We you're and it's it's a matter of who gets something's gonna with their taste everybody's going to get a taste. Can you lower property tax schori could lower property taxes will never happen of course not why. Because these tax dollars are like crack cocaine to these people. They get it's and then their hooked. And then they come with more reasons and more reasons -- more reasons as to how to spend it and they know better how to spend -- you know how to spend your own money wouldn't I think we -- get that. And so will -- me he screwed up portion of casino gambling in that sense with the tax dollars at self slipping lately. We are also going to create jobs. And that's the part that concerns me at this point. Are you going to create chances as part of this and we're talking about in some cases very good shops. You're talking about building trades jobs very good jobs. -- you're talking about -- a brand new service sector great jobs not. Going to get -- you -- build new roads you're right. But I'm gonna tell you right now -- in every situation really. The politicos make sure that -- casino is paying for that. This I believe is about creating jobs more than is about the tax revenues look for the politicians about the tax revenue that's -- they see they see these dollar signs in their -- their heads -- dancing around. They want the tax money. But for real people in the real world you can look at this and say. Jumps. 1877 Howie -- 18774694322. -- Welcome and how we -- show."

" I guess I -- it sometime will you when playing. I don't kid could be out. -- You know it can't what I don't understand -- people I've talked about -- I know for a fact now we have -- can we have. You know what I mean fluctuated OK -- never -- I'd love gambling. You -- you really don't run any big interest I had -- how many scratches so we can -- up like your 300 -- no way."

" Now. Police haven't paid for now a little Obama you US and into a 300 dollars a week -- against it will you do for a living."

" I don't know who Adam Kennedy wasn't so you. Already rich right you don't appear to -- too many means no broken leg below that -- okay. Now nobody grand CNN kept doing any pink. If you will well you can say no -- no -- you anything you don't want to do I know."

" Well I've been married for ten years. -- Italian Alex. But."

" LA and you have been coach Jeff has manually and again when we had the bull -- unfriendly."

" I remember yeah."

" Now I'm -- how we don't have a -- allowed only because. Everybody when scrolling page and again but I now can get right to make it on the money. Turns out -- out -- they got. And -- now let me know I think. -- continuing to see you Gloria I went and Mohegan. I'm getting paid Humana -- like no thank you want to wait until we get the late."

" Oh absolutely I absolutely agree I appreciate -- call now know well only if Abraham. The next time you buy and the scratching as we get a winner symbol to me not for me you understand but for my children. I want to use your money where my children had -- in the superior what Scott welcome to now we -- our show."

" I got -- thanks god I left it up let's just conversation I gotta tell you I can't worry about casinos are okay. I I -- iconic space -- we stop other people we don't some gambling to other people. And some college but he really even about Connecticut everything and if you look at Connecticut I -- in the higher wages aren't quite as what do making things such an aerospace industry up and -- You know what let other bits and auto manufacturer what this day. And if you want an argument that's not solid outlook Chinese about a growing economy in a while we've we've got our manufacturing there."

" Scott I don't know what women Ellison knew more what I did in disagreement on that we we we have killed the manufacturing. A situation in the United States I absolutely agree with you Amanda and it's nice okay we -- not be proud. -- Listen not everybody is capable of working in the aerospace industry there are people who need those service sector jobs are created there are people in the in the building trades you'll do very well if you built a casino."

" IIIQ and a greater I don't did rather well temporarily."

" I know it's god bless in the whole construction industry is a temporary thing because once the buildings built. Find another building to build."

" As you know I'm not that's correct once Altria about what everybody got."

" But -- do you say we're not -- do any construction this year because Scott doesn't like the type of construction were doing what you say you know what for the next -- you guys are working your pay in taxes now if you're really bright -- you say you know this construction thing is really cyclical and seasonal and it is not always -- maybe I -- figure -- something else to do you do that or -- you -- the sidelines and say well I gotta wait for the -- construction project. -- that being said even the the better to have those guys working all year building that feeding their own families pay in tax is god forbid. Have them sitting on the sidelines taking."

" Yes and now. I yes and no I mean I I I think about honesty I I think it what if we're bring back our manufacturing base there would be under construction jobs around -- yeah."

" Tell me who's gonna bring back the can -- movie at the manufacturing base."

" Well you've been making affords our politicians never do I think. And I think people need to get I'm I'm back I'm politicians but this I don't take -- why worry about Israel or what you were about -- job you let go away first."

" well let me know I know why I appreciate the call I just don't see it happening I wish it would. I think it's disgusting that we have a completely and totally eliminated the manufacturing sector but we have. I don't know how you rebuild its. The may be somebody does I hope somebody does I hope somebody can I can tell me Jeff this is exactly how you need to do it. I don't know how you do it's. John is up next John welcome to -- Howie -- show."

" They are you and I -- just -- I absolutely disagree with you as far as you know -- you -- keep exe hosts. It would be great pretty. Construction workers building a casino owned. Can I call forward. By the bottom line is -- the -- blood out of your surrounding economy. So grant date yet here they create call 800 jobs or 1500 jobs -- whatever may be if you have a casino like William sound. Okay what's gonna happen is it all of disposal income within the surrounding area would there be thirty or forty you're -- my house. -- going to start getting tightly -- city casino. -- that's okay -- it's -- job and it's true because he would say you're an -- entertainment complex what you but foxwoods okay now. I think people should this little -- come -- not going to go to the local economy. And -- can -- are you mom and pop. Pizza shop there you go to casino."

" That's not -- John and let us let me stop you for a second and and I. This is this is one of those areas and there are not many of them as my wife will test -- but this is one of those series -- actually know. Well what I speak. Take a look at freestanding casino operations. And take a look at communities in the economy around them. This is one of those arguments that your making which is an argument is made every single time somebody wants to do this. And in the vast majority of cases were the planning is done correctly. This doesn't happen if people have the opportunity to spend ten or fifteen dollars to buy you pizza. That's what they do because if you go to the casino you can't get the pizza for ten or fifteen dollars and people -- making the choice to go to a movie on Friday -- say okay it's four or five dollars a ticket DL let's say it's -- second run sort of movie theater you can't go into that in the casinos of that money stays right where it is."

" Who I I I I disagree you're still gonna you still can't take that money that would be going through a local business. You're not you're simply into a casino and the and the -- and enjoy it. I'm not integrated casino person they'd like you're hearing your take that money. People just little comp. Don't go to -- pizza shop there if you -- local area and -- you can see how it's gonna go do our parents -- Sierra who the heck. You listen to smash up."

" I know I know that's how you feel any and then you can you can say it over and over again but I gotta take it doesn't make it so when in this case it just isn't so. It just isn't self. -- you could oppose casinos for any reason you want and that's okay but but in this case beat the studies. The economic impact studies will will bear out what I'm saying. It's that sucking money out of the communities in fact in large parties injecting money into the communities. Make no mistake about it you have all of the politicians who have said were going to suck as much money out of the casinos and we possibly can for all of our pet projects that doesn't end -- creating jobs you have more people paying more taxes. These are all the truths of the situation. We get to a more discussion straight at 1877 how we call our 1877469. 43202. I'm Jeff can't sitting in for how -- today this is not how we car show. -- Casino gaming in the forefront. I can remember when casinos came to Atlantic City, New Jersey many many many years ago. And remember people talking about a Linux really know what it is it's a slump and they were rights wedding -- was an absolute hits. And in the rock casinos -- what's gonna be now going to be a slum. More than casino. But that's not what happened. It's not what happens. The casinos came to town and they brought a whole slew of industry is not just the jobs that casinos and people have to remember that. You're talking about training for so this another big fingers and educational component to training component. Because once people realize that. They're not gonna get rich working as a doorman are a ballet. Or is it may need but they can make pretty good money if they're dealing cards. We decide they want to be casino dealers. And then you have casino dealer training facilities that pop up and you need people to teach in -- listen there's a lot of money involved. Are you gonna get rich people get rich with casinos as we know for the people who own and operate casinos. The other people to get rich from casinos are politicians. Because they steal an awful lot of the tax money right out there could take a lot of money. But there's still enough left on the table -- comprise some pretty decent jobs to some pretty decent people and to many. That makes a worthwhile 1877 Howie -- 18774694322. Let me head to -- GM is up net aren't yet Jim welcome to be how we car show."

" I don't like thanks. Quick question and you -- it touched -- my question before we learned the casino. Resist turning to a Deval Patrick. Entities or is this something like the -- fight where this -- public. Private venture because will be bail amount five years. -- W have a million dollar penchant for doing absolutely nothing. Yeah okay it's all private if you can remove the government as much of -- and it's got hit the shadow work."

" Yeah it you don't remove the government completely because what the government does is sets itself up as -- The regulatory. Authority is the administrative authority and so you have a casino control commission you have folks from the state police search or perhaps some new bureaucracy this created. That goes in and and takes a look at what's going on in there takes a look at the way it's going down they they go and they license people nobody works and casino unless they've gone through a background check and all of that stuff. But no you don't want the government involved in the operation of -- because as we know they came to deaths. I can't do anything remote did -- right -- connected to running something properly. All right Jim thanks for the call. Let me go to Jeff Jeff welcome and now we car show."

" A lot similar thing happened -- and can manage that all -- when the patriots were thinking maybe moving down here -- stadium my solo debut of the nationwide. Survey and they found all. Contrary to -- to all local businesses -- wonderful their worst stage it was on game day. Because everybody can really game -- the game and they've jumped in the car and Iran home. So liberalism actually worse -- special Mormon Boston this kind of been so vocal public and also -- business -- in their. But beside Broadway are immune to 2000 you're looking good and maybe you'll have -- anyone want. All the property values adjacent to -- reservation. Have plummeted. And the only people who are biting or houses is the Indian reservation was that -- to -- their territory and they come up with tax rolls them. So there all the jobs they create it was summer 125000 or better. Awful lot of people came from out of state and from our political our area bringing women children will -- local schools. We have big drama school system to which Indian contribute nothing they only pay -- money to the state. -- cal tech community run -- interest that would freeze your local residents they now have to charge because there by accident rate. They can't keep up for that well he."

" To save this Jeff what do what what would need to happen if you're gonna do this in Massachusetts as you need to look at the mistakes that have been made in Connecticut's. And learn from."

" What you have -- this year -- will be really wrong we should give us state -- nervously a lot more control -- they will get local property tax. But in context shows this statement we know what happens little boat that. Well boulevard to -- right now our really slumped when you go down there and our you have no trouble getting a slot machine very. You run the tables because -- just not that many people are contribute also want. A year ago. And they've had layoffs and everything -- does not necessarily. All green had a bad printer did you wrap -- a lot of laurel all the time for your local police. Yes -- paid for et cetera et cetera Mario look at not only the positive side to a slow moving but they're also negative side there let's consider."

" I listen Jeff again I don't see it is a panacea it doesn't solve every problem in the world and there are problems that are created which you may not have today. That being said if he creates. 10015000. Construction jobs for a year or eighteen months. I think that's a pretty good thing to do if it creates. -- career path for some that's a great thing if -- provides transitional work for some I think it's again a great thing again it's not perfect -- far from perfect but I think there are some tremendous opportunities there. And and I really think you'll be silly to dismiss them out of hand."

" All of course are now emerging play well when McGovern just your finger and as things get messed up like right now on the Connecticut legislature. They're -- pushed through a bill making it illegal for the casinos -- smoking. Rationale for the good the -- most of the -- certain size -- want to smoked and they create various sort of and -- that's what they -- there are happy with. This stage you have nobody who's doing it they can. -- lot of -- looks like them listen you have."

" know I agree with you Jeff and say well what what on the non smoking situation I'm not a cigarette smoker I have no interest in it wouldn't do it's. But I've got to tell you if you're a business operator you've invested in your your property and you're running a business and you know. -- 85% of your. Clientele. Would like to smoke a cigarette while -- having dinner you need to look at that before you was succumbed to the under the authority of the state that says no -- we've decreed they'll be no smoking and and casinos as a prime example. I it's one of those things that seems to lend itself. To smoking for a lot of people."

" I assure the American civil from a sudden. Major too expensive court battle if they try to put true then we could stand in the history 175 million that they may that be a little larger. Do you attribute it. So there are always felt -- a -- replaced so hard good nice -- area -- people don't want to smoke marijuana for people -- what's the problem."

" Now well I don't know why I don't I don't get here let me ask you -- can be here same and it's in the state legislature in Hartford. But but the casinos are on Indian land right it's a sovereign nation."

" Right or they do probably in the states to stand a little demoted -- if you -- don't have. Abetted by a pack of cigarettes they charge at least 25 to 30% more than there and they do -- tax money to the states and -- they may have hoping. They're telling all aspects revenue from cigarettes."

" Well I don't think anybody ever accuse the Connecticut state legislature being comprised of geniuses. No I'm afraid that's a common thing that corporate credit catastrophe. I don't listen Jeff I appreciate the call 1877. How we call our 1877. 4694322. Let's go to Ron Ron welcome to now we car show."

" They're rare and I thank you I think you set yourself. I'm. We look at the mistakes of Connecticut. And we don't put -- casinos in Massachusetts. If plummeting across from corporate excludes an increased public surmising then coerced schooled him and then convinced Obama. -- no one else you want special program here. There have been macro economic studies. Then mom brought you -- and being -- simple like the small arms and other. I don't know cash transfer them from those. More globally net good clone your jobs and -- decline. In there and economic growth but Cabrera but -- first. Producing. Hard jobs if you want a good job of a good high costs source industry to support it. You want manufacturing value added manufacturing where you take something -- didn't create jumping. That's great government summary parts Amanda definitely not -- house."

" Well listen Ron let's talk about a couple the differences right off the back. You're not talking about in this particular case Indian casinos in Massachusetts. So there's a world of difference right there. We we are talking about having something other than Indian casinos I know there's been a lot of talk about in his seat as a messages but this particular case we're not talking about the unique as season so it's a very very different serve equation. Aren't there studies out there they -- indicate there is a net loss. You say that there are I would love to see that and I would love for YouTube to send them to me because I would like to review them. We can look at it on an anecdotal basis that's what we can do right now because I'm not I'm not gonna go to present to you a whole stack of empirical data. That's going to satisfy you but are anecdotal anecdotal basis. Take a look at Atlantic City is a case some points in you have to look at how Atlantic City developed over the years you have to understand what Atlantic City used to meet. What it is today and it's it's a valid comparison because unlike Connecticut these are not Indian operated casinos. Atlantic City was a dying town. Simple -- that he was dying. He had been a resort community utilized by people from Philadelphia right where I grew up. People from Philadelphia I -- into Atlantic City where they went to wild which. Atlantic City had -- walking had a very big honky tonk sort of feel it was the oil Louis are like guy would have been like revere beach and -- a -- So that's what it was that's what Atlantic City once and that dried up for the most part. And it became Islam by the -- that's what Atlantic City once he slumped by the seashore. And somebody came over the idea of casino gambling. And they went outs and they got casinos resorts international was the first casino to open there. And it was a success had to know a lot of new word the where the buses. Lots of buses -- lots of people in cups of quarters again. But he created industry. He created people not just who worked in the job in the -- casino. In the in the service sector but he created a better level of jobs in the casino as well. It allowed people to be trained to make."

" Some dealers I have news for you dealers make better money. And they were playing people who became dealers. It allows people to be part of crafts building crafts and trades in the rest of it because those casinos needed people who were able to build things they need people who are able to fix things. And so you saw a lot of training programs that payment. No -- away. So I mentioned -- there was something called -- in the casino reinvestment development authority. Increase disable we're gonna take the tax money because it can't remember some incident got politicians involved believe me. Before they think about how many jobs is gonna create for you they think about how much money it's going to make for them. So they've looked dead and said okay we can get X number of tax dollars -- what do we do with it what we're gonna have a commissioned the -- casino reinvestment development authority. They took the money. And we started fixing Atlantic City they fix all of it now. When you used to come into Atlantic City on the Atlantic City expressway from Philadelphia. You would drive through one of the worst. Ugly is most dangerous public housing project you had ever seen. Pitney villages or call. Yeah -- right through it as one of the reasons human want to come."

" We change that. They built up a new high school new police headquarters."

" They had infrastructure. Again it doesn't solve all the problems but up until that point you'll Atlantic City didn't have a never supermarkets."

" Atlantic City for years and years and years literally did not have a supermarket."

" It was only after casinos came in the they built the supermarket. And there were places to go see movies for the first time in a long time it is not X -- fix all. But it's a fix some."

" GM can't sitting in his favor -- always the best value car show. 1877. -- I'm 18770. You are 1877."

" 4694322. Somehow we've we've become obsessed with the casinos today hunts -- I know some real downsides but I gotta say is a real upsides as well people don't want to look at. -- would solve all the problems absolutely -- would create so many problems and is not worth doing absolutely not. It is like so many things sort of in the middle. -- get to -- hey frank welcome of the Howie Carr --"

" I guarded that's going to start about it you know and one thing the other side you want to look at those diplomats. The -- city's casinos and I think they're proposing royal air Palmer by the Mass Turnpike which is not just forward observers -- Interstate 84 and ninety. Murder not your followers -- New York Connecticut Manchester and Hartford. Yeah and they're correct is I believe have one point five million dollars for like their three year through here permit. So that's -- generation. Generating. Funding in itself. For the casinos. To run and then the other point is that there is a lot of other things that go attack. Domestic matters to upgrade the fire fully. But stature. Their demographics. To change -- that word that casinos located. But -- before it does generate a lot of jobs. As for the demographic for the people reside in that area. Possibly could be there are also all their catcher. And -- there is a lot to look at them but I think there's point two mistake this -- here maybe 24 states that have casino gambling. When he got to look at the other factor the other down factors. How many of those point 80 point 84 states have a balanced budget."

" Well it's a good point and I think when you take a look at this you've got to look at it in its totality and you can take any portion of it depending on what side you're on and say that this is the greatest thing of all time or is the worst idea that's ever come down the -- But the reality as I've said a couple of times now is the reality is many creates a huge number of jobs any creates them over a period of time for that initial year year and a half two years whatever it takes to build this out you work creating a whole slew all very will -- Building trades council sort of jobs."

" Yes you'd it's very true and the construction of casino page. Quite a bit I would say don't want him Palmer there one that are proposing to build. Would restaurants inside and so forth and so on and we're looking at maybe 24 month period or -- lack. -- so you look at that have very big factor of employment."

" Well and let's and you frank let's be honest if they're gonna be unionized construction workers. It's going to be at least 24 months because the first thing you learn when you're an idea union job if you're constructionist don't kill the job. Right right you don't want to -- too fast."

" You've ever made that -- back okay LA and not the other thing it says that the houses surrounding sounds. Are going to benefit possibly promised -- because. Maybe they can beef up their fire police. More security and I think we'll change. The model that I have. -- maybe some differences that now part. Further entrepreneur businesses."

" Well listen it is they're going to be some folks who get -- there's no question about it if you're talking about building some delegates caesar's palace where you have. Clothing stores and all sorts of recreational activities but then you may not she doesn't answer but remember something that Las Vegas was built. Specifically for this so so you're you're seeing a totally different mindset in this case you're talking about bringing -- casino operation into a place that already has these things in place -- gonna see convenience store shut down because people will still be driving to work driving from work and there's still going to be going there and people are still going to be doing the supermarket shopping in their neighborhoods where they live."

" That's right now is it entertainment you better believe it now and then -- point is is that. It is truly how I would do it down one last question -- you know. -- it's too late now but I wrote I know I am right. Right Connecticut kid or New York. It is too late. You know -- the big question."

" It's a big question another one -- says the answer do it."

" Well -- I think it played it Phillies. -- people that are unemployed."

" Well I go along with you on that frank I absolutely do. Is it too late to build and I don't know. You know people ask questions sometimes and and you think well or you're really asking the question. If you're thinking about starting your business today there are a hundred people are going to stand up and say. Wrong time to start a business it's crazy asserted his no look we're we're in a recession and and there's high unemployment and there's this of the crew is not the right time to start a business. And if you would have gone to those same hundred people ten years ago."

" When allegedly the economy was -- And said to the you know I'm thinking about starting a business you know what. Those hundred people still was jealous not a good time to start. To not gonna do now is a bad time why -- because they said so."

" You're always going to have the naysayers you're always going to have people who look at any possible opportunity and say no it's the wrong time. It's too late it's too earlier it somewhere it."

" You have to deal with the reality. The reality is that you have unemployment.

Brewer & Shipley

We will be joined by singing/songwriting duo Brewer & Shipley who are probably best known for their Top 10 hit, "One Toke Over The Line" (1971). They will be playing in Framingham this Friday night at the Amazing Things Arts Center. The funny thing about B&S is that while "One Toke..." was being banned on radio stations across the country for its lyrical content (my how times have changed), and Spiro Agnew specifically referred to them as being "subversive to America's youth," the song was being performed on the Lawrence Welk Show.
