CasinosNO! launches Internet ad
By Jessica Alaimo, PolitickerME.com ReporterMaking the rounds in the blogosphere this weekend is a YouTube ad from CasinosNO! warning against the proposed Oxford County Casino.
Unlike its opponents, CasinosNO! has yet to hit the mainstream airwaves.
Some of the points the brief ad hits, such as the bill allowing teenagers to work in the casino and not allowing another casino in the state for 10 years, the new casino owner has already come out against and promised to support changing them.
The ad also warns that 95 percent of the gamblers will be from Maine, and that profits will go to Las Vegas.
