Letter: Spokane off-reservation casino won't harm military

Wednesday, April 11, 2012  

"I have been watching events unfold regarding the building of the Spokane Tribe’s casino in Airway Heights. Until recently, there has been little opposition.

Enter the Greater Spokane Incorporated chamber of commerce and four Republican City Council members. The facts surrounding this building site are mostly ignored by same.

The adverse effect on Fairchild Air Force Base is pure speculation. Other bases around the country, with similar building projects close by, have not been negatively impacted. This information is available with Google access, for interested parties."
