We live in a period that people can bend the TRUTH any way to their advantage. Example about the Casino. The ad on the radio has been tooting their horn about reducing our taxes. Do you think this will happen? Show me a paper where the City and County have made the statement they will lower taxes. In fact our “Taxes” may have to increase. You can bet on that. |
and more lies!
Look at the examples in other communities at what the revenue from casinos have paid for, without having to raise taxes. Places like Cripple Creek, CO (new schools, new streets, new storm & sewer drainage). Boonville, MO was just in our local paper! No drop in business of the local businesses, population has increased since the casino came in, new police station paid with casino money not taxes, new land annexed for the city because of casino money.
