CASINO ANYONE

The ongoing legal battle pitting the Point Defiance Cafe and Casino vs. The Town of Ruston continues as reported today in The News Tribune byline Ian Demsky in the Political Buzz.

The dispute arose when the Town Council voted to exorbitantly raise the gambling tax closing the Towns largest taxpayer and putting thirty people out of work in the holiday season. The dispute originated when two private citizens objected to the sign in front of the Casino.
