Ask Your PA Senator to vote NO on the casino license auction bill as it does NOT protect Gettysburg!

[Susan Star Paddock]

We won two major wars against those who want to have a casino close to the Gettysburg National Military Park. But we need continual vigilance to maintain the character of Gettysburg as a family friendly historic treasure.

Right now there is a danger that another one or two casino licenses (for the large 5000 slot casinos labelled Category II) would be auctioned off to the highest bidder anywhere in the state.

HB 65 passed the House and  is now in a PA Senate Committee. This bill offers NO protection for Gettysburg in a time when David LeVan has stated in recent legal papers that he still wants to pursue a casino in Adams County. His last 2 proposals were both within one mile of the Gettysburg National Military Park.

You can read more about the bill here and in the news stories posted on our site.

 

The bill could be voted on in committee and if passed, go to the Senate floor this month.

If you live in PA, Please  write to your PA senator and ask him or her to protect Gettysburg by voting NO on the casino license auction bill because it does not protect Gettysburg.

Just say: Please vote No on the casino license auction bill because it does not protect Gettysburg.

THANK YOU for continuing to protect Gettysburg.

The only possibility for this bill to be at all acceptable would be to add language requiring a previously recommended buffer around the Gettysburg National Military Park and the Flight 93 Memorial; otherwise, we will be fighting this battle in perpetuity.
