Dear City Council:
Thank you for vote to override the Mayor's veto and ensure
that the casino referendum will be on the May ballot. Philadelphians deserve
to vote on whether to invite Las Vegas size casinos into their neighborhood. Thank you for
supporting us when it really counted.
The referendum was initiated and brought to its successful conclusion by volunteers for Casino Free Philadelphia, who gathered over 27,000 signatures in support of the measure.
