It is my understanding that Fairbanks in Beloit has not laid off any workers and has even hired a few.

Wow what a slippery slope. People talk about the negatives of a casino, and if one comes in then this probably WILL happen. People act like the casino is the only thing that would be coming in. Let's look at the package and the benefits it would bring. Along with the casino comes the convention center, strip mall, hotels and water park. Remember the new Best Western on 75...... it came in because of the anticipation of the whole complex coming. OK so with the complex comes JOBS!!!! OMG we need those here... I heard some rumblings last night about a few more businesses potentially going by the wayside. What about the revenue generated by the strip mall, water park and convention center?? To my understanding, the casino is the only part of the complex that will be tribal owned, the rest would pay regular taxes like regular businesses. So with this complex comes business, then cash, and eventually we could see more businesses coming in here. This is an opportunity to pick this area up out of a hole.
Let's focus on the whole package and not just the slot machines and hold 'em tables...... I don't see anyone else rushing in here to save the day.

My husband saw them in Beloit heading down Hwy 51. He said there were 9 or 10 marked and unmarked squads in pursuit including the police suburban. His estimate at that point was at least 90 MPH.
