Finger Lakes Gaming, Sen. Helming say Rochester site would impact tax-paying casinos in region.
While there’s been a lot of talk over the last two days about a possible casino being built in the Rochester-area – one local legislator is weighing into it – saying other local casinos should be considered. The idea of a Rochester-based casino is being touted as part of the state’s potential deal with the Seneca Nation. State Sen. Pam Helming, R-54, says a Rochester-based casino could have a big impact on other local casinos. “Any discussion of a potential casino in Rochester should not only involve local officials and stakeholders in the City and Monroe County – it should also involve those in the region,” Helming said in a statement late-Monday.
Ontario Town Supervisor Frank Robusto says he’ll run for re-election despite no confidence vote.
It doesn’t happen that often, but when a governing body of a town or county votes ‘no confidence’ in one of its members, the news is typically met with concerns about the future. The Ontario Town Board took that step on Monday, voting no confidence by a 4-1 margin, stating they no longer have faith in Supervisor Frank Robusto. In fact, Robusto was the only person to vote against no confidence. The Republican has been criticized for an array of reasons, including town checks bouncing, as well as retaliation against Town employees and improper notice of public meetings.
