You may have seen that one of the JPs wrote a letter where he said, “The judge should do the right thing for the citizens that he represents and rescind his letter to the Arkansas Racing Commission.”
I think the judge IS doing the right thing by NOT rescinding the letter and, by the way, Mr. George, it would be a MEANINGLESS GESTURE!.
He told me he read my email on current issues all the way to the end very carefully. I laid that out the problems with rescinding the letter very specifically among other things.
Among other things, he wrote: ” While I do not personally wish to see a casino in our county my motivation on this issue is to be a voice for the 60 plus percent of Pope County voters who feel betrayed by their leaders in a position of power in this matter, even after that leadership publicly stated they would not write a letter of support for a casino. That betrayal may not have begun with Judge Cross or the prior Quorum Court, but it has been continued by some in past actions.”
