Muskegon casino info
An e-mail going around town about opposition to the indian casino plans for Muskegon.
The entire set of e-mails is in the "comments" section below.
Some of you live and/or work in the City of Muskegon. Apparently the mayor and majority of City Commissioners are unwilling to even entertain discussions with anyone ‘outside’ Muskegon---despite the fact that a casino would devastate the entire region, not just this wonderful, reviving small community. Even more unthinkable would be multiple casinos established by multiple tribes—which Commissioners’ Municipal Service Agreement made with the LDV tribe recently notes is possible.

At best, this is a radically different kind of Christianity than most Americans acknowledge; at worst it is an ethnocentric heresy."
