I like how one of the proponents says that a casino will lower taxes for area residents.

Ignorance is bliss.

I'm still for the casino, that land has been sitting there forever, and a casino will bring beau-coup bucks to NY.
My condo is right across the Long Island Sound in Connecticut, I'm just a 40 minute ferry ride away.

I'm for the mega structure, but you can't ignore the riff-raff and crime factor though.
I'm hearing this passes tonight, The Sands Group better be committed to a big time security budget or else this could turn out to be AC redux.

Passed 17-1.

Never in doubt.

This Sands property is supposed to be the mac-daddy of all brick and mortar resorts.
