Casinos; Gambling; Forests and Forestry; Historic Buildings and Sites
I oppose casino development.
If the town cannot afford its high-school it can have less of one or take students from neighboring towns. Possibly there is more state aid available.

has earned its position. What matters is whether it has too much power,
and is abusing that power. Well, it does, and it is."
