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.
