Going to help the area is a pitch and I think how, if you need cheap cigarettes won't you skip the locals and load up at the casino ? Why stay at a resort when I'm getting 1/2 room rates and comp points at the casino, free buffets if you bring a guest etc.

Thing is HWY 108 & 41 will never be the same ever again, the traffic volume will go up big time. I pay OTC taxes and who's footing the law enforcement bill around there ? I'm assuming a deputy or 2 more will be necessary in that area 24/7 almost. Logged onto the star lake association website there you can send he or others an email. Wayne sent me a quick thanks for your email but in one ear out the other I would think. I think I'll go bury a buffalo on that land and hope they enshrine it instead, we don't need another casino not paying in MN state taxes and what about netting star lake walleyes ? Lida ? oh Maple Beach and it's 30MPH zone on the Lida's, you think you have traffic through there now oh how it shouldn't but will likely quadruple, tired haven't slept in days traffic, unbelievable. Go support your own favorite cities with pull tabs or play the lottery, tribes have billions but even they won't share with their own, greed, crime, addiction, what else, apparently it's time to vote in new OTC people that would have a say about it, speak up Ottertail County.

Still confused how the state can't open one but off the reservation I guess it's ok if your a tribe with land ? Yes I'll be front and center boycotting it. Friday night counted 109 ND plates from 108 near Perham to Pelican Rapids, 24 MN plates, stretch is 25 miles long, on Sundays you just reverse it they're heading west, same ratio. Here's the clincher, they're not looking so much at the MN dollar, this casino is targeted to hit North Dakotan dollars since they own tons of lakeshore from Perham west. And jigger I think any arguments sent would be water under the bridge if I read the Fargo forum correctly it's already a hush hush done deal. I certainly like Slam said am not trying to bring race into this I'd be equally upset if any race wanted to park a gambling establishment on any pristine lake in OTC or any lake in the state.
