The order, which comes after a civil rights lawsuit was filed today, says the town must not bar Kraft’s representatives from speaking at tonight’s Board of Selectmen meeting.

Foxborough..... You have more than you deserve and yet that's suddenly not enough? I seriously doubt that Kraft will expect you to pay damages but for the love of God where would you (and some of the other nearby towns) be financially without the windfall and largesse that having Robert Kraft around has given you? Please, by all means, bite the hand that feeds you.
Sue the town?? I guess the effort to locate a casino in town isn't going so well. Wish Kraft and Wynn would look elsewhere.
There's a lot more to life than money. Maybe you're willing to sell your soul if the price is right, but many people don't worship that god.
No more Mr. Nice Guy. I can't believe Kraft is so petulant I suppose he's more used to people bowing to his will. Maybe he'll do just about anything to get his way. I suspect this is more about the son than the father.
I disagree. I think it's more about him suddenly feeling fisted by the town of Foxborough after being a solid supporter for so many years. I'm pretty sure the billboards and discussion of land taking by Eminent Domain are what finally made this group snap. Roll that into a big slice of 'you're not allowed to speak' and that would send anyone over the edge.
I suppose you have a point, but although he has business in the town, Kraft doesn't live there and so is not a citizen. I'm not sure the ruling by a lower court judge should be taken as gospel. I would think the selectmen should have some control over who speaks and for how long, particularly when it comes to non-citizens. To me it seems more like a publicity stunt by the Kraft group. What are they going to gain by speaking to selectmen who are not ready to hear them? There is a zoning issue that has to be settled before the selectmen can officially consider the issue. As for the billboards, it's apparent to me that without competitive bids, the selectmen are putting themselves in jeopardy.
