I do agree that our politicians need a shake up. Maybe they should move away - hey where is it your are at?
The casino would be beneficial if taxes were collected, if other businesses were not allowed to open on the Seneca's site thus giving equally opportunity to all to collect on the good fortune of a casino. But this is not the case. Nor does the leader of Cheektowaga have a long term or short term plan - how do I know I sat down and asked him. He stated that he cannot see that far down the road. He is waiting for a final decision. Well in most professions we must project the possible events down the road and some may happen and some not but at least a path is somewhat defined. We don't have many here who have a defined path for the casino just a 'bring it and they will come' attitude.
Those is Cheektowaga are not taking other areas into consideration such as the school that will potentially be down the street or yes and the again this is according to our Cheektowaga supervisor ' there are no neighborhood communities in that area. Well there are.
Let's no look at the size of the next mentioned cities but what have they done - Baltimore, Cleveland, Boston, Atlanta and as far as I know there are no casinos there. What probably exists are leaders with vision and common sense and the ability to get along so that major cahnges can happen and can take hold successfully.
By the way, I am quite intelligent and far from stupid and still live in WNY that is until the casino comes and then the search for greener pastures with less tax will be calling.
