"I am writing in support of Question 2 and Question 3 on the ballot this November.
A casino in Lewiston will provide jobs and will create an economic spark that is badly needed in the Twin Cities. I like the comprehensive concept that includes a hotel and conference center. While the gaming aspect will be a solid draw, the other parts of the complex should not be overlooked.
I also support the development of racinos. Passage of Question 2 allows racinos to be built in Biddeford by Ocean Properties and in Washington County by the Passamaquoddy Tribe."
