    The Seneca Nation responded to letters written by County Legislature Chairman Jonathan Rouis and Thompson Town Supervisor Anthony Cellini. Rouis said the county remains committed to supporting those tribes with which they have agreements to move the process forward.

    Assemblywoman Aileen Gunther and Senator John Bonacic, along with all of the major labor unions throughout the Hudson Valley region, have reached out in support of the Seneca Nation and its development and gaming partner Rotate Black, Inc.

    John Paulsen, Chairman and CEO of Rotate Black, Inc. said, “The efforts coming from elected officials and union leaders should bring approval to the Catskill Mountains project.”

    Rotate Black, Inc. estimates that the Seneca Catskill Mountains Hotel and Casino will create over 5,000 jobs throughout the Hudson Valley, and generate approximately $160 million in fees to state and local governments.

    This casino is desparately needed. It would create wonderful jobs for the many unemployed frum bochurim and girls with little or no job skills or secular education. They could arrange their schedules so as not to have to work on shabbos or yom tov. Also, the casinos would provide some entertainment for motzi shabbos when there is nothing else to do after havadallah. The casinos provide a good fun and family friendly environment for heimeshe yidden who either want to have some fun or need a good steady job with health insurance.

    Have no fear. All this means is that another investor will bury a few million dollars before realizing the futility of this concept. The small-time politicians of Sullivan county have been lining their pockets for years with selling this pipe dream to any investor willing to grease the wheels.

    I’m from the alter falsberg olam (Fallsberg yeshiva) and back in the days we used to be the most gishmacke guys in the yeshiva velt and we used to do the most crazy things in the yeshiva Velt but a casino??? No one ever thought of that being a few miles from yeshiva (I’m sure the real gishmacksters went to AC). If this picks up we are no longer gonna have the status of alter Fallsberg because the younger olam will take over and that’s not good news. Have a wonderful day!

    Perhaps the jobs folks are referring to are not jobs with the casino itself, but in the area. The construction workers and mgmt staff are going to need places to eat and sleep, so local motels, restaurants, hdw & building supplies, clothing stores could all be “kosher” job opportunities for yidden. Even after the place opens, they have to buy their fresh produce from someone; why not from a yid-owned/operated business?

    I have been going to the mts since 1950. I am a homeowner as well. The casino is DESPERATELY NEEDED! The other issue is how can people be travelling on a highway (RTE 17 near Middletown) That for two years has had only ONE lane going back home. What is the insanity behind this. How can people want to travel for additional hours on this pathetic road. They accomplished nothing. Route 17, leading and leaving the area is in terrible disrepair and all they worry about is exit 120 to 116. Where is the GOVERNMENT? Why is the money only going there and no additional lanes have been added. We are doomed with this highway with no relief in sight!

    I agree with you 100%. I was disagreeing with the Guy I replied to calling vegas sin city and saying that is what will happen to the Borsht Belt if a Casino opens up. I don’t belive that will happen. in fact I think it will good harworking people that want to have a nice night out with their spouse and take in a little entertainment perhaps jackie mason or Jerry Seinfeld. Maybe MBD or the Miami Boys choir could play there. Oh wait there under 21 but I think you see my point. It will only benefit the economy and offer a night of entertainment for the more Risque Frum Yidden. Also it could serve as a good hang out for Mishulachim….I would stress they would be better off getting the people before they go in rather then when they are on their way out.
