I am totaly opposed to the Casino in Nittany Mall. Gambling is very addictive and can destroy lives. This community does not need this blight to tarnish it.

Casinos are a bad way to spend time and money. Why provide more access in an area of our state with income inequality already.

A casino will provide Prostitution, drug use, gambling addiction, litter, crime, traffic issues. Go to Alantic city during the day and look around. A casino causes more poverty!

This is not a positive activity….creates addiction, creates financial devastation, attracts unwelcome visitors bringing crime.

A casino in Centre County will deteriorate the life and safety of the residents and students. The Penn State former trustee who is using his wealth and greed for more to lower the quality of life here and increase the risk of more residents and students becoming addicted to gambling.

Gambling is a serious addiction and can most often lead to other psychological and physical health problems such as depression and anxiety. Lives can be ruined with gambling addictions. Why would we want to promote gambling in "Happy Valley".

The last thing State College needs is a casino. It will bring one more addiction problem, namely gambling, and therefore more crime. Why can't we put something positive in the mall rather than a casino? People and the community will lose; the only winner is the casino owners.

It is dreadful to bring a casino into a college community.

Students already have problems with alcohol. Let's not help them get addicted to gambling. Nor other locals, for that matter. Gambling addictions ruin lives, including those of the family members, employers, employees and customers.

As a father, who lives in College Township, I do not want to see a casino go into our area. Thank you for considering those of us who live here.

A casino here will cause as many problems for the community and the police like a win at Beaver Stadium but probably more.

A casino is not a type of venue that would bring any well being to the community. I cannot think of any positive effect of having such an institution in the area

Please, no casino in State College! Let us reuse that space for low income housing or other community welfare.

I strongly oppose a casino at the Nittany Mall, State College, PA! I am opposed to a casino in the Centre County area, anywhere near our community!! The negatives FAR OUTWEIGH the (so called) positives.
