USS-MASS.org on Braude
Kathleen Conley Norbut with Jim Braude on NECN.
Kathleen’s the real deal and has been studying this issue for years. As the public face of the anti-casino effort, she’s also taking a lot of slings and arrows – something I can related to.

kathleen Norbut has made a first rate effort to fight slots in Massachusetts. She’s very knowledgeable and articulate, and I admire her chutzpah. Unfortunately the Globe has virtually ignored the efforts of USS-Mass, concentrating more on reporting the efforts of those in favor of slots. So much for unbiased reporting.
I agree with MattsMom. The media has totally ignored the opposition, or relegated it to the last quote on the second page. This does the opposition a huge disservice, because every time we appear in the paper or on the news, people visit the web site and get the facts. Some join. Others made much needed donations.
I like Braude, but his attitude of inevitability also does a disservice by convincing people we can’t win. That top anti-slot leaders are retiring. That’s not true. There are new, young bright stars taking their place.
