Letters: New Yorkers not happy with Mohawk casino

Monday, February 26, 2007

Tom Cahill: "New York taxpayers, especially, do not need to be in business with a tribe as disreputable as the St. Regis Mohawks."

Daniel Aiello: "Casinos, especially those run by crooks, are not a good way to fund education, and are the wrong way to bring economic viability to the Catskills region."

Kevin Kamen: "This is not a Democratic or Republican issue. It is about dealing with corrupt folks who have already been connected, by the federal government, to a $687 million smuggling operation involving illegal liquor, cigarettes and guns."

Martin Bregman: "Another irony in the long history of political ironies is New York's ex-prosecutor, now-governor, making deals with Indian gangsters."

Joe Hanlon: "Our new Democratic leader has been in office less than three months, and somehow we have the Mohawk Indians, from up by the Canadian border, planning to open up a full-scale casino in the 'Jewish Alps' of downstate."
