Kevin Nalty, of Cubebreak and WillVideoForFood.com has made a hilarious new video for Casino-Free Philadelphia that perfectly captures the absurdity of the casino industry and their PR machine. Our favorite part is when the casino executive points out that the 1500 ft buffer equals an outrageous 18,000 inches.

On May 15, cast your vote on the casino issue at PhillysBallotBox.org.

PhillysBallotBox.org is a project of Casino-Free Philadelphia. While Casino-Free Philadelphia continues the "Yes on #1" campaign; Philly's Ballot Box is a separate effort to set up a full election.

PhillysBallotBox.org. is a citizens' ballot in defiance of an unjust and undemocratic judicial decision. There will be ballot boxes located in every State House district within Philadelphia and in dozens of high traffic areas around the city. Registered voters will also be able to cast their vote through our secure website, and by calling our voter hot line. Every Philadelphian will have an opportunity to vote on the very same question that the Supreme Court removed from the ballot, and the results will be checked against official voter rolls.

In a dramatic turn of events, the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB)admitted that Philadelphia City Government has final authority in determining zoning regulations. It did so in its brief, released on Friday, responding to Philadelphia citizens who accused the board of irresponsibly choosing the two locations.

In the brief, the board makes clear that it does not have local zoning authority. It claims the casinos must deal directly with the city on zoning issues and places all responsibility on the casino companies themselves to obtain city zoning rights. This includes zoning restriction such as the North Delaware Avenue zoning (zoning code Chapter 14-1624 of the Philadelphia Code), which SugarHouse casino violates and which Foxwoods is expected to violate based on zoning changes proposed by Councilman Frank DiCicco.
