This should be a "We really want to see a casino in Hamilton. We think it would make a great fit. How can we make this work for you?". We shouldn't be begging for scraps.
We are not chasing the casino. The province has asked if we want one, we just have to say yes or no.

Flamboro is going to be closed whether the city likes it or not so why wouldn't the city just say yes and let the province find an operator for a new casino. It will not cost this city a dime to say yes. If they say no it will cost us 4 million a year in revenue.
