(Long Island, NY) “No Casino at Belmont Park” a grassroots organization against the VLT parlor at Belmont Park, proposed by Nassau OTB, will be holding a rally Saturday March 26th at Belmont Park’s Gate 3 at 11 am to tell our elected officials that we are tired of casino roulette on Long Island and support legislation in Albany to revoke the planned casinos in Nassau and Suffolk County.
“No Casino at Belmont Park” will be joined by Assemblywoman Michaelle Solages, Assemblyman Todd Kaminsky, Nassau County Legislator Carrie Solages and Floral Park Mayor Tom Tweedy.
“No Casino at Belmont Park” will be tweeting positive messages to our elected officials using #NoCasinosLI to show our support to see that current legislation is passed ending Nassau and Suffolk OTB’s casino roulette as these projects will not benefit communities in either counties.
“No Casino at Belmont Park” is against the proposed casino due to the casino’s location to 6 different local schools, the increase in crimes such as DWI associated with casinos, the casino’s proposed 20 hours of gambling, and the detrimental impact the casino will have on the surrounding neighborhoods.
Rally Against Long Island’s Casino Roulette will be held on Saturday March 26, 2016 meeting at 11am.
“No Casino at Belmont Park” is made up of the surrounding communities of Elmont, Floral Park, South Floral Park, Franklin Square, Queens Community Board 13 and other communities throughout Long Island. We have over 2200 signatures onChange.org against the proposed casino at Belmont Park.
