We understand the pitfalls of illegal and legalized gambling for our citizens, especially the poor. Delano finally made a stand against it in 1998 by eliminating much of it in "China Town". Now they\'re back! They\'re asking our elected officials to change our ordinances so they can expand gambling in our City. Let\'s move Delano forward NOT backwards! Let\'s create an environment where our citizens can succeed not fail! Let\'s send a clear message to our city council and the casino owners that this would be a setback for Delano!
I met with staff at the city clerk office yesterday to review the proposed ordinance changes. My team is now preparing a formal letter to council members detailing the long-term economic risks of this expansion. We expect a response to our request for a public hearing by the end of the week.

NO MORE CASINOS. This town has enough problems without adding this to the mix.
