Indeed, the plight of many Massachusetts families who cannot afford to see taxes get any higher should outweigh the personal qualms of the anti-casino lobby. However, it is not unwarranted to take reasonable steps to counteract the potential ills of casinos on the areas surrounding them. Many cities and towns are understandably opposed to a casino in their jurisdictions; traffic problems and a touristy atmosphere would almost certainly accompany the thousands of day-trippers.
