Letter: Boycott Detroit over casino opposition
Friday, July 4, 2008

"Well, the U.S. House of Representatives, via intensive, expensive lobbying, defeated our attempt to have a casino in Port Huron. I wasn't originally in favor of the casino, but we really need employment opportunities and a casino sure would have fit the bill.

[U]ntil we get a casino or our community rebounds economically, I will not spend one nickel in the city of Detroit. If I have business there, I will purchase my food and gas in St. Clair County. I will drive back and forth across the river or to a casino where the leadership was supportive of a Port Huron casino. When Detroit wanted casinos, residents of the state of Michigan supported their efforts. That support certainly has not been returned.

Good luck with your economic woes, Detroit. You'll get the same help from me that you've given us -- nothing."
