Citizen Comments Norma Floyd objected to the Board's not opposing the issuance of a Keno License to the Food Store by the Massachusetts Lottery Commission. Mr. Enrich explained that the new prospective owner came to the Selectmen's Meeting two weeks ago at which time the Board had an extensive discussion about the Board's concerns regarding many issues about the operation of the food store. After receiving positive reassurances from the new owner's attorney, the Board decided at that time not to proceed for a hearing before the State Lottery Commission.
