Regarding casino, I’m also amazed FOP & firefighters union aren’t demanding legislation that insurers 100% of casino tax revenue goes to their pensions. As far as I know, there’s currently no restrictions on what the city can spend Casino tax revenue on?…remember what happened to the parking meter $.
