The people of Linn County need to finally accept the fact that a casino would bring many jobs and more entertainment, and instead of sending money to other casinos, we could keep it here. Instead of hurting businesses, it would help businesses grow.

A lot of people would benefit. How many people have to hop on a bus to go to a casino? We could keep them right here in Linn County. I believe the negativity is coming from other casinos. Come on people of Linn County, do the right thing and vote “yes” for a casino here.
