Despite their differences, both candidates do see eye-to-eye on other key issues, such as being against placing slot machines at race tracks. Coppola served on the Citizens Racetrack Advisory Committee in Foxboro and said that while she is against slots, she would leave it up to the townspeople to decide if they want them or not. Naughton, meanwhile, said she doesn’t "think we should fund anything with addictions. "(Slots) feed into people’s weaknesses." ….Both supported Gov.
