WPCNR MR. & MRS. & MS. WHITE PLAINS VOICE. May 23, 2005:
LETTER TO THE EDITOR:
One casino, two casinos, three casinos, four. Five casinos, six casinos,...how many more?
What will it be:- a continuing flagrant violation of the New York State Constitution? It's absolute greed that is driving this issue, and the Constitution be damned as long as these politicos can have their way to elusive tax benefits and the political patronage it poses; all at the expense of the taxpayers who will pick up the costs of crime, traffic, and social problems.
This is the most outrageous proposition we have ever known. How can Gov. Pataki, Senators Bonacic,Larkin, and Bruno, the Sullivan County Legislature, and now the Town of Saugerties, all whom are chasing for a piece of the action, ignore and violate their constitutional oaths is beyond belief.
You politicians should be ashamed to show yourselves in our communities as you demolish the New York Constitution which specifically prohibits gambling. How dare you violate our Constitution. Stop this insidious demolition of our laws...now!
