Dear Senator Bond,
Senator Ashcroft,
Representative Gephardt,
Governor Carnahan,
State Senator Stoll,
St. Louis County Executive Buzz Westfall,
Missouri Gaming Commissioners,
Each of you in your own way has the ability to come and save the town
of Kimmswick from the pending embarrassment of having a Casino shoved
down the throat of a town which doesn't want it or need it. Enclosed
you will find numerous articles and testimonies expressing the
preposterous nature of the proposal.
Tonight, as Mayor, I chaired yet another meeting of people whose
backyards and front yards are planned to be reduced to a four lane
highway to accommodate this ridiculous political proposal. I say
political because everyone knows it doesn't make sense. Even the Aisle
of Capri and Ameristar who have other applications before the
commission for more logical and practical sites believe the Kimmswick
site is ludicrous.
Please read the material I've enclosed and do the right thing for the
right reasons. Forget the politics and use good old fashioned common
sense.
In closing I would like to add this point (in all seriousness). If a
Casino comes to Kimmswick it's the kind of material that 20/20 and Date
Line NBC are made of.
Sincerely,
Brian Selsor, Mayor
Kimmswick, Missouri
PS. We reject the notion or excuse that it's out of any of your
particular jurisdiction or itŐs exclusively a state matter, etc., etc.
