Ideas for your letter
- Casinos will cost the city more than $52 million.
- Crime is already high in the city. We don't need a crime-increasing industry.
- Development in Philadelphia deserves minimum standards. The casino industry has avoided any standards, allowing them to build massive slot parlors as close as 200 feet from people's homes.
- Studies say people don't want toxic waste dumps across from your house. What's second on the list? Casinos. They degrade our neighborhoods and don't belong next to schools and homes.
