Casino Politics Tie Ins Stir Warren County Debate
In Warren County the casino fight links Democratic and Republican operatives as Link Strategies takes over 50,000 for pro vote yes work while Jeff Link and Gary Kirke back a project tied to Steve King supporters. Mark Roth files papers for No Casino in Warren County and Brown-Winick houses Doug Gross who says he is uninvolved. Backers claim 450 jobs and 250 construction positions, opponents warn of social problems, and Wild Rose pledges 4.5 percent of expected revenue to local education and development. The race could affect Linn and Cedar Rapids bids as the market supports some cannibalization. Local readers note Linn County appears strong for a license, while the commission may weigh market studies against new casinos.
