According to Susie Dewberry, spokesperson for People Against a Casino Town (PACT), "He has helped communities across the country win battles against casinos." Also speaking will be Julie Hynes, Gambling Prevention Coordinator for Lane County. The PACT group is concerned about the effects a casino development of this size will have on Florence. Said Dewberry, "The proposed casino complex includes a 100-room hotel, restaurants, 1,000 seat auditorium, and gift shops. This is a big deal for Florence, but it's not a 'done deal'."
