PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Local investors in the long-delayed Foxwoods casino have now gone to court in an effort to overturn the Gaming Control Board’s decision to revoke the project’s license.

More than a month after the Gaming Control Board voted to revoke the license for the Foxwoods project, the local investors have now filed an appeal of that decision to Pennsylvania’s Commonwealth Court.

Less than two weeks ago, the investors filed a petition seeking to have the gaming board reconsider its decision. The board had not yet decided whether to grant reconsideration, but a spokesman for the panel says an appeal to Commonwealth Court would supersede any reconsideration by gaming regulators.

Also, the gaming board has not yet written its official justification for its decision to strip the investors of their license.

Meanwhile there are ten casinos up and running in our state and like other casino states they are operating like amusement parks with no safety belts or cages on their rides. You can help stop our casinos from BREEDING compulsive casino gambling degenerates who will eventually become criminals by calling you State legislators and telling them you support the legislation (CASINO MONTHLY STATEMENTS) These statements would enable gamblers and their family members to spot a loved one’s gambling problem before it gets out of hand. Who knows how many Pennsylvanians and their families would be in a better domestic and financial situation when being made aware, month after month, of their wins and mostly LOSSES in black and white.
