There were several people who were not for the casino to be established in Palmer. Several of those people who were not for the one billion dollar casino project planned in Palmer wanted to prove that the coming of the casino is going to cause a lot of havoc in the traffic.

The state legislature is working out to debate the plans for the casino in fall 2009.

Several of the casino protestors took to the streets on Saturday. They did this after they dropped their picket signs and they started off with the keys to their cars. They did this in a way to show in reality the amount of traffic havoc that might strike the Palmer roads.

Nearly 75 residents of the Palmer did drive around in their cars in the Palmer roads to help others perceive the amount of traffic that might catch up there with the coming of the casino. This was also done to justify the reason behind why they are much against the coming of the casino there.

If the casino will be coming here after the legalization of gambling in Mass, then the overall traffic is going to increase multifold than you can imagine. We are trying to let others realize what it will be like in reality to be going to the school or day care to pick your kids or to be driving to the store to pick up some goods or groceries. This in turn will put in a lot more number of cars on the roads, stated Lauren Smith from Monson.

Not only are the cars and trucks going to have the residents concerned, but a regular incoming of tourist buses will also be bringing in a concern. After the witnessing the scene several of the supporters of the casino were also in agreement with how the benefits outweighed the costs they will have to pay for the coming of the casino in both cash and kind.

"A little traffic to bring that money into our state, that's a small price to pay," stated Joe Fizzino; however, if the casino was to come nearly thirteen thousand motorists will be traveling through the area on the weekends and which will be nearly ten thousand in a week.
