To
Slot or Not to Slot?
Scarborough Downs wants to bring in a
racino and not everyone is happy about
that idea. There has been a lot of talk
around the town regarding the move, and
opinions vary from love to hate.
The city council was aware that people
were not necessarily thrilled with the
idea, so they decided to hold a special
meeting last Wednesday night. They
wanted to give residents a chance to air
their feelings about the idea, and see
where they needed to go with the idea.
Many are upset over the idea of bringing
in slot machines, and as they see it –
crime, to their city. Others say that
slot machines bring excitement and
entertainment like they have over in
Bangor.
The group Casinos No! assisted many of
them in their quest to not bring in slot
machines. The group wants to keep slot
machines and gambling from expanding in
Maine.
For their part the council learned that
they will not be able to change any of
the wording on the question that
residents will vote on come November. It
will simply ask if they want slot
machines or not.
