Star Lake and HWY 108

[O.T.C.]

Paragraph 1 I'm saying any of us can open a liquor store, but none of us can open a casino. Isn't that accurate or can I open a casino by Ottertail Lake ? Paragraph 2 The Thumper Pond yes we should wait on their response to it all but I think I'd be a dummy to not think that they are taking the casino into consideration along with the bad press about it collapsing. look for WEN to buy Lida Greens next and have that under their finger. Paragraph 3 Star Lake is no hidden gem, it receives plenty of traffic already winter or Summer, now it can receive the mother load along with the Silent Lakes. Don't get sucked in people, stay away burn your comp point tickets, your free buffet with a paying adult, free this free that, stay away from it is all I can say. Put your money into your families accounts and 401K, not into the White Earth Nation's coffers. Play scrabble with your kids, husker du, yahtzee, play cards and monopoly, take your kids to a water park where they are required to pay state taxes. If you touch the handle to their door they gotcha. As soon as you touch your wallet or purse they gotcha. As soon as the mailings come and you go they really gotcha. Find enjoyment in life and gambling doesn't have to be a part of it. More so then the fishing taking a hit and it will is the fact I wish casino's would go away completely and I could care less who owns them. To me if it wrecks 1 person's life it isn't worth it and it will wreck plenty of lives. I wish more people were strong minded so they wouldn't feel like a nicotine urge to gamble. Chill 62 you are for casino's and I'm against and that's ok.

Honestly there's nothing more to be said. MN is also a casino's best friend when pull tabs came about and the lottery, that was baiting the hook in a sense, fantasy sports. Read about problem gamblers online and read about all the issues that can come from it, many I was unaware of. Coming from a large family I've seen the problems firsthand that come from these casino's. Not every person is strong enough and this building will play a role in destroying some lives without question. Honestly, that's all that needs to be said and us Minnesotan's will be left still picking up the tab.

Here is some more info on this debacle. Feel bad for the people that are landlocked on the point to the east of the casino property.

What a shame.

soooooooo i was invited to shooting star xmas party last night, got to rub elbows with councilmen.

basically they've owned the land, used it for ricing, 100% legal to use that land for the machines.

They have paid out over $5 million for neighboring land. (they'll make that in 1 week) . apparently the rock pile golf course owner refused to sell to them and told them off,  but now that everyone else sold out, he wants back in and they will get that at rock bottom prices....what a dope, he should've just been nice and negotiated right away for more money. haha

They also purchased lakeshore north for a Marina ...

 

all in all, there will be 800+ machines, with table games as well, pretty similar to mahnomen.  open 2017 spring/summer

Anyone else know where they have land that's casino possible ? The last week I heard the word casino 2 times. One was the deputy sheriff who beat his K9 partner violently outside black bear and the other was the cancer benefit in Wadena for a guy and some guy stole the cash box and gambled it away the way it sounded. I rarely hear any good news coming from them unless it's their propaganda commercials. Can't wait for that armpit to be built in the heart of lakes country.

So you take two events that have happened and blame it all on Casinos?   Why not say all deputy sheriff officers are dog beaters? Also heard that a guy pleaded guilty in the death of killing a DL person while driving his boat drunk at night and hitting a tree.  His blood alcohol level was more than twice legal limit almost 4 hours after the incident.  Maybe we need all liquor stores to be closed since it's the most devastating drug to family's.
