Letter: No sympathy for casinos

The casinos are crying because their rooms and machines lack customers. How sad.

Mayor Oscar Goodman told a group of us lately that he tried to talk to casino owners about giving the locals a break in the way of cheaper show tickets and comps and by showing appreciation for our patronage. They responded in their usual arrogant way with a loud "No." So, guess what? We're staying away, too.
