Dear Fellow Community
Member, Thank you for visiting our
web page. As a community, we are standing up and saying “no” to the spread of
casinos into our neighborhoods. When Proposition 1A passed in 2000, we were
assured that tribal casinos would stay on tribal land. Now, the East Bay
alone is faced with proposals to build casinos in Oakland, Richmond, and San
Pablo. The process is getting out of control and it is time to take a stand. The Governor has
negotiated a compact for a proposed casino in San Pablo and the Legislature
is expected to act on it during the current session. It is vitally important
that we as a community stand up and urge the Legislature to send a message
that casino gambling is not right for our cities. Contact your local legislator and tell them that
San Pablo casino is bad for your community because: ·
It will add 34,000
additional cars to I-80 and already jammed local roads, impacting commuters,
businesses and emergency service providers. ·
It will impair access
to Doctor’s Medical Center, the only public emergency room within 20 miles. ·
Cause social problems
that will harm the quality of life in our communities including increased:
crime, prostitution, domestic violence, suicide, divorce, and more. ·
Cost the Bay Area
economy $193 million dollars annually. For more information on how to contact your local
legislature, click here.
