Who is Gladys?
My name is Mary Tufts, and I live in Bridgewater, Massachusetts.
In early 2007 I first heard about land right down the street in Middleboro being sold to build a casino, and knew the problems a casino would create weren't going to stop short at the town border.
Aside from voting, I'd never participated in government, so I didn't know what to expect when I went to Middleboro town hall to sit in on an informational meeting about the casino - but I didn't expect to hear an attorney, who claimed to be an expert in tribal law, telling everyone that it was all over. To give up and sign on the dotted line.
That didn't seem right to me. It didn't even seem American to me.
I heard a lot of pros and cons of expanded gambling that night, and over the next few years, but most of the things I learned scared me. Witnessing the process scared me more. So I guess I just decided to stop being scared, and start fighting.
I met a lot of fantastic (and not so fantastic) people along the way, and became part of grassroots movement to preserve quality of life, kick corporate influence out of politics, and rid government of it's gambling addiction.

Gladys - they are all barking mad!
What type of dog was Adam - he looks so soft! The self-important cell phone was the best - he really is much too important for this town.
To bad Wayne didn't speak (he's been so quiet lately - his "position paper must have sapped his brain for the year) he's always good for an unoriginal thought.
Dear Gladys,
Whoever did this video should get an Academy Award!
In the documentary category of course because it truly represents the leadership of this town. Thank you!!!
Thank you! Gladys her very self created the video. Who ever knew that one day, her wacky range of useless talents would ever be put to good use!
Oh, if only I could go back to high school with them....
Marsha as a springer spaniel? My dogs are much cuter than anyone at the head table of the selectman....smarter too!!!
Gladys......you are too funny.....you keep us laughing through this madness!! It's crazy....just plain crazy!
Oh sweetie your life is so lame.
Gladys' life is far from lame. It's filled with fighting for what she beleives in, and doing it with a sense of humor.
You take care now,
Mary
