Moratorium on casinos

Moratorium on casinos
By Mary Perham

I am voting against any more casinos in Maine.

I do not believe that the state of Maine can sustain five casinos. If there are five or even three casinos, each one will take away from the others. Therefore, there will not be the money for all the programs that each casino claims will be available. It will go to the backers of the casinos and there will be very little left for anything else.

I believe there should be a five-year moratorium on all casinos. By then, it can be determined if the state can sustain two.

Let Oxford get up and running without any more interference from outsiders.

I am voting "no."
