Backdoor deals unleashed this process and have now been proven as causing grave harm to our city. But instead of using a transparent process with public input as a guide, our elected officials are now trying to place a casino in a neighborhood with no bigger planning, no principles, and no relationship to citizens who will be affected. It is a great betrayal of our movement's principles: transparency, good government, and development guided by smart planning principles. Feeling as outraged as we are?
