8.29.07Letter-to-the-Editor
City residents had no choice in possible casino's location
In response to TalkBackcaller Linda's comment about the location of the proposed casino, I was living in Wisconsin in 2001 when the vote took place. Also, Linda pointed out the voters voted for a casino at a specific location.
I would argue this proves my point - the people of Port Huron had no choice regarding a location. One wonders what the outcome of the vote would have been if the citizens had been given a choice between the Thomas Edison Inn location and a location next to McMorran Place.
The point of my previous letter to the editor was the community of Port Huron should have a choice as to where a casino is located. Oddly, in the Times Herald's forum regarding that letter no one has yet commented on this, one way or another. Instead the location continues to be debated. This debate is moot, if you never get to make the decision.
This is one-shot deal, folks. The people of Port Huron should try to get the most benefits out of having a casino in their community. It's not a "done deal," yet. But it will be if you don't act!
If you believe the decision should be made by the community, then please contact Sens. Carl Levin and Debbie Stabenow. Only they may be able to give the citizens of Port Huron the choice.
