Signature collection will begin on Friday from a group of people, called
Michigan Is Yours, trying to get a new measure put on the November ballot. The
measure is to allow for seven new casinos to be built in the state.
Michigan Is Yours is pushing for new casino to be developed in Grand Rapids,
Romulus, Lansing, Saginaw, Benton Harbor, Detroit, and Mount Clemens. Members of
the group believe that the new casinos will bring new jobs and tourism. Tax
money made from the revenues will go the state education scholarships. The Pure
Michigan tourism campaign will also benefit from the tax revenues.
This afternoon Mayor Alan Lambert gave a speech in Romulus. He made the speech
in efforts to bring attention to the state’s unemployment and to start the
campaign.
Previously the group was unable to collect enough signatures for the last
election. They are hopeful to be more successful this time.
