Northeast Indiana, a place where everyone knows each other and feels welcome, is a great spot for businesses to grow. But bringing a big casino from Las Vegas wouldn't be a good idea. Why? Because it doesn't fit with what our community stands for. We value family, safety, and keeping things nice and clean. A casino usually brings some problems like gambling addiction and crime. It could also take away business from local stores and restaurants. Let's keep Northeast Indiana the way it is – a friendly place where everyone feels safe and happy.
