Subject: Nason's

Is anyone else upset at the fact that Nason's got a "slap on the wrist" for the illegal gambling going on in their establishment, or is it just me? I am not sure about the law in full, but I was under the impression that licenses had to be upheld truthfully, disclosing "accurately" all that was included in an establishment. Code break one. They mentioned 2 machines, but had 4.
Second, is not gambling in Massachusetts, except for race tracks and the lottery illegal? Code break 2.
Third, can you imagine the cost to the taxpayers on this "sting" operation that was commenced by our Police dept., only to have Nason's only punishment being the surrender of all machines? Ethics code break 1.

Either Nason's knows someone in town, or someone "special" frequented that establishment to lead me to the conclusion that Nason's was given special circumstances for breaking the law in many ways. Their license should have been pulled, and very hefty fines enforced.

They might not have gambling machines in their back rooms anymore, but you can bet your sweet BIPPIE that they will find other ways to compensate for their loss in wages. And, it won't be upping the price of a sub!

Did the Dracut Shopping News report this incorrectly, and am I missing something, or do I smell some bad political decisions here.

And, who was the selectman that raised his eyebrows (direct quote) but still did not pull the license.

Curious. Extremely curious.
