Greene County votes on casino plan backed by Wild Rose
Jefferson residents face a Tuesday vote on whether to legalize gambling in Greene County with a $35 million Wild Rose Entertainment complex. Proponents led by Norm Fandel say it would create about 250 jobs, boost the tax base by $1 million annually, and generate $12 million in charitable gifts over a decade. Opponents led by Rev. Julie Poulsen warn of social harms and limited tourism impact.
