Petition Signers Call for Competition

Our online petition continues to collect signatures and great comments from people who want to see the jobs, economic opportunity and other benefits the Kenosha casino and real competition in Southeast Wisconsin’s gaming market would bring to our state.

Here are just a few samples of comments that readers have posted in the past couple weeks:

• Look at Tunica, Miss., and see all that the casinos and gaming has done for that area!! It is surely a big plus. From a very poor town to a very prosperous community. Casinos are here to stay and if we are smart - we would stop all this nonsense and bickering and start building in Kenosha!! It is time Wisconsin cashed in on some of the profits and the people get a chance at numerous jobs. Wisconsin people don't have to always being giving their money (so to speak) to other states. (Mary G.)

• The children of the Menominee Nation's future is at stake. (Corey S.)

• Yes to Kenosha gaming. (Robert S.)

• Let's get going with the building of the casino. (Rollan C.)

• I hate monopolies! Competition is not only healthy but good for the economy. (Michelle J.)

• Build it now! (Craig C.)

• Let’s be fair to all the tribes! (Jeff M.)

From the looks of it, more people are catching on to the real reason behind the Potawatomi’s multimillion-dollar campaign against the Kenosha casino – it’s a matter of controlling the market, limiting competition and preserving Potawatomi’s monopoly.
