Virginia says, “I would like to keep Russellville a family town and God fearing. There’s enough to be cleaned up with the drugs and such. We don’t need to invite more.”
Michele says, “Tourism is a boon to any community and is an automatic economic boost.”
Daniel says, “Russellville has enough Criminal Element already...Don’t need to add to it”
Ashley says, “More jobs. We need one in every county”
Allan says, “Do not believe the potential benefits outweigh the potential negative impacts. Obviously everything at this point is speculative because the final outcome is unknown.”
Justin says, “Jobs. Tax revenue. Tourism.” Katrina, “More jobs for people and we in Arkansas don’t have go as far to another state to have fun more money for our government” Gina says, “The revenue generated could do a lot of good in our community. I also would love to be proud of us and welcome visitors from out of town.”
Kimberly says, “I see jobs and revenue for pope county. The right casino will bring in outsiders to vacation and to enjoy area for not just for gambling but for the show’s and entertainment. It will help lower our taxes as well.” Jed says, “Theres nothing for the younger generation to do in this town. I think it will bring a lot of good food and restaurants to Pope county. Not just what they bring but more up scale places. It’s time to grow and quit living in the past.” Ken says, “Will provide jobs better public services and infrastructure” Justin says, “We need growth in Pope county. A lot of people go to other states anyway why not keep the money here.”

Jason says, “I think it will help our community grow and create jobs.” Jennifer says, “More jobs as well as something to do.” Jake says, “Give people a place for enertainment and tax revenue” Danny says, “More attractions, entertainment and growth. We are taking our money across the line to play. The ones who dont want it, ask them where they are at on a Saturday night...CASINO..”
Carolyn says, “I lived in Tulsa for 20 years. We were promised a lot of money. It never materialized. Many schools went to 4 day weeks, transportation and other areas had cuts. Not enough police...” Carla says, “For the ones who would be addicted to gambling, it’s not healthy for their families. “For the Love of money is the root of all evil”. I think it opens the doors for other addictions” Jeff says, “Just don’t need one!” Angela says, “I don’t think it’s a good idea!” Ricky says , “1) too tempting for low income families to try to get rich quick crime will increase. 2) better double the Russellville and Pope county police force. 3) Only people that get rich are the casino owners.” Michelle says, “There are so many poor people in the area with kids. I’m afraid they will spend the money they do have at the casino instead of food on the table or to take care of their kids. I also have a family member who is a gambling addict. If it comes anywhere near to Russellville she will lose everything and I’m sure she’s not the only one.” Wilma says, “If you do a little research you will see that the economic impact is not as good as implied and the social impact is even more negative. It will decrease neighboring property value, it increases gambling addictions up to four times, it increases crime, divorce and suicide rates, and it has actually been shown to decrease local business revenue. Do your own reasearch, but make an educated decision not an emotional one.” Sarah says, “I would prefer there not be one.”
