Bill, Joanne, and I were on our way out to Hatteras during the time the casino deal was under discussion. It was informative to hear their thoughts and take on the matter. They were not opposed to casino idea nor was I although as you had written about this, I recall your thought about if in Anson, a place to consider was along the Great Pee Dee. I, too, could concur with that rather than the other end of the county where Union County would likely profit. The Union County profiting from an Anson entity--an established pattern (i.e., South Piedmont Community College's best assets went by way of Union as I recall well when SPCC Print Shop was moved to the Monroe campus). That print shop-- state of the art--left another loss in Anson. All to say, it's curious the topic comes up again. I recall Bill and Joanne mentioning the strong conservative backlash that roused up in Anson about the gambling sin. Certainly it makes sense to get names on record about this and follow money and see who is up to what.
The fact that it is being reintroduced after the candidate filing deadline should not be seen as a coincidence.
