Foxborough neighborhood parking ban to be enforced near Gillette Stadium May 17, 2012

But lately, the town’s public safety officials have voiced increasing concern over liability issues, ranging from ambulances being unable to get where they need to go, to drivers steering their vehicles over private property without permission.

The candidates include challenger Virginia M. Coppola, a former state representative who says she opposes the casino. She leads the field with $12,726 raised, according to campaign documents filed April 30. She reported more than $10,000 in campaign expenses, the bulk of which went to printing, postage, and advertising costs. Incumbent selectwoman Lorraine Brue, who is also against the project, reported raising nearly $9,700, against $5,726 in expenses. Brue voted against negotiating with Wynn over having a casino in Foxborough and has been a steadfast critic of the proposal. Incumbent Larry Harrington, the board’s chairman, who has been considered generally more friendly to the project, reported just one contribution: $4,284, which came from his own pocket. He spent the entire amount on signs, printing, postage, and advertising, he reported. Longtime School Committee member Martha Slattery reported $2,150 in receipts, though that included a $2,000 loan.
