Clyde ticks me off sometimes
Ever since the news that the Middleboro casino investors had stopped payments to the tribe, there have been a number of articles and blogs dissecting the information.
It’s funny how people read a news article and are affected in different ways. Whenever I see a news report that describes the agreement as being worth $11M, I go apoplectic. I took note while reading an Alice Elwell article that described Wayne Perkins as “a chief negotiator”. I wondered what Adam Bond would think of that. Apparently not much since he wrote a blog post that lambasted Wayne Perkins for his position that return of pre-payment monies is covered in the IGA(it’s not).
Personally I don’t think the tribe would come after the money, but I fully support the notion of getting it in writing. Why wouldn’t we?
Clyde … WTF!?
So clearly that “chief negotiator” thing got Adam’s panties in a twist and here’s something from a recent news article that bunched up my knickers:
In June 2007, he described the first agreement this way:
So when did a “bad deal” become a “good one”. Granted that Barrows was talking about the first agreement, but the financials of the second one are very similar.
It just goes to show that you never know what will piss somebody off.

BB,
How dare you point out that Clyde thought the deal was a bad one and now thinks it is a good one! The reason is simply, Clyde forgot he needs to shill for EVERY casino deal that comes into New England.
Clyde is back on track(get it track) and willing to gladly take whatever money the town/tribe or new/old investors would like to give him to fund a (hee hee) STUDY.
Bumpkin,
I am sorry to challenge you, having just been called a Commie Pinko but can you explain your title? Clyde pisses me off all the time!
Who cares what Clyde "Opinion-for-Hire" Barrows says?
Now that Sol Kerzner is no longer backing the Middleboro mega-bingo hall, maybe we can get him to pay Clyde to say that casinos are a bad idea in MA?
Is Wayne Perkins the self-described 'chief negotiator' because he was involved in back room, behind the scene deals before anyone caught on?
Assuming he was 'chief negotiator,' he said towns in CT with casinos don't pay taxes.
The town's budget was about $70 million this year.
Wayne, why didn't you begin negotiations at $70 million with an escalation clause instead of hotel rooms that will be comped for a hotel that won't be built and won't deliver what was promised?
I've heard that "he said towns in CT with casinos don't pay taxes." thing a number of times.
I've always assumed he misspoke and meant that the casinos in CT don't pay taxes to the towns.
But what do I know? I don't recall where the original quote come from.
