r Representing the Traditional Value Coalition, Reverend Stephen Anderson said he opposed all three resolutions, based on the fact that this matter has come about very quickly. He was aghast at the idea that the City must come up with $25,000, which he declared to be a rip-off to the City. He declared that corruption had come to City Hall. He objected to the manner in which the matter appeared on the agenda one week ago brought by Councilmember Sanders, which he found to be incorrect. To save costs on his house, he said he sued the City to seek remedy; however, he said his vote for gaming could not be bought and urged the people to rise up and oppose it. He was appalled at Councilmember Sanders' action which he described as malfeasance and berated him for not speaking up to help his house project. He declared this town deserves fairness; it doesn't deserve corruption. Councilmember Sanders responded that this item came before this body as early as April and stated City Council was privy to information on this matter. He said Rev. Anderson's remarks were unfounded. Councilmember Bennett observed this was the section for public comment which meant that Rev. Anderson could speak and address any issue. Mr. Fred Cordova said he spoke vehemently against taxes and remarked that he had asked several Council people to consider the card gaming as a source of revenue for the City. The City needs revenue or the City will have to lay off more employees. He pointed to the fact that on a regular basis, buses, packed with senior citizens, make their way to stateline or the indian reservation to gamble and the people are happy to be there.
