Massachusetts ‘GAMING’ Future
I’d like to know where these ‘not in my backyard anti-casino protesters’ were before our gaming law passed, or when ‘Sugar/House Casino’ and ‘Harrah's Philadelphia Casino’ opened just a few miles away from their South Philly neighborhood?
Philadelphia Inquirer - November 12, 2014 - Residents, union workers sound off over South Phila. casino plan
There was a very loud and very public family squabble at Stella Maris parish hall Wednesday night, one that can be summed up simply: quality of life vs. jobs.
If you were in support of a South Philadelphia casino, you were against the neighborhood. If you were opposed, you were closing the door to commerce and union jobs.
A vocal and, at times, angry audience of more than 300 people filled the hall at 10th and Bigler Streets for what was billed as a rally in opposition to what some residents fear is a looming decision by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board to award the city's second casino to a firm that will build it in South Philadelphia.
