RE:  The Slots Issue. 

I just got the giant card aimed at getting people to vote "yes" on the slots.  The card mentioned "good-paying", not "well-paying", jobs; and it mentions some arrangement they have with MCC related to training people to work there. 

My questions, or at least questions I hope have been addressed somewhere in pubic, are does anyone know how many, of the x thousand people who live in Tewksbury, are so lacking in training, education and/or existing work skills that they would require such training in order to work at a slots place/sports bar? .  Count out high-school kids and retired people, and consider the population after that. 

What jobs would people be training for, and what do they mean by "good-paying"?  How many people are there IN TEWKSBURY who need jobs/work?  Of those, how many require an income that will support a family, mortgage, rent, etc.?  How many of the 1000 jobs said to be created by the slots-thing will do anything for those people? 

Will the "slots place" limit who it hires to only residents of Tewksbury (I'm thinking that's unlikely, but, of course, I could be wrong.?

What, exactly, are those 1000 jobs going to do that another 1000 jobs from another business in that, or a different, location couldn't/wouldn't do for the people who live in Tewksbury?  - or that, say, 1000 jobs created by 5 other businesses in town couldn't/wouldn't do?

I'm not particularly looking for someone to answer me here.  As I said, I'm just hoping these are things that everyone asks and expects to have well addressed before deciding anything.
