IN THEIR OWN WORDS |
"TOXIC DEAL." That is how Twin River's EVP Marc Crisafulli described the IGT no-bid, 20-year, billion dollar contract with a $300 M premium in testimony before House Finance LAST year. Only three things have changed since that time: Twin River now has a piece of the action; the "great" jobs mandate is significantly watered down; and the premium, as discovered through our taxpayer funded independent study more than doubled and is actually $660 MILLION!!! This definitely remains a "toxic deal!" Join us in telling your Rep or Senator to vote NO on this insulting insider deal. |
