That description on a Web page exhorting people to take action in support of the casino overlooks the thousands of area residents from all backgrounds that CARS represents. They have expressed dozens of different reasons why they do not want a massive casino-resort in Clark County. Their concerns include:
- How it would affect Interstate traffic, especially over the I-5 Bridge.
- Gambling addiction—their own and others’.
- The impact this massive development would have on local waterways and the fish in them.
- How casino workers earning food-stamp wages would support their families.
- Where 3,000 casino-resort workers—many of them new to the area—would live.
- How the presence of another restaurant and retail mall, hotel, convention center, and event arena would affect local businesses.
- Whether the presence of this casino-resort would deter future development.
- The demand it would put on social service agencies.
- The impact it would have on local schools.
CARS encourages you to send a note to officials, at the local, state and federal levels, so they continue to feel your concerns about this proposed development.
