The controversial report , penned by city manager Joe Pennachetti, suggests the city approve a casino at Exhibition Place if over $100 million a year in hosting fees can be guaranteed by the OLG and the province. Story continues car rentals at page arizona airport below
Councillor’s Gary Crawford and Peter Milczyn said they would support the casino but only if the province and OLG could meet certain conditions such as location, hosting fees and space for conventions.
Councillor Vincent Crisanti was one of the few vocal supporters of a casino, suggesting that a casino will be built in the region regardless of the committee’s decision and the city should seize that opportunity.
“It would be another wall to our waterfront. It would stifle the renewal of our adjacent neighborhoods,” the letter continues. “But most concerning, it would very likely end up being a white elephant on our waterfront.”
“I’m not voting for a casino,” Minnan-Wong said. “I don’t think casinos represent the values of the city of Toronto. I don’t believe gambling and all the things associated with it represent the values I have and I don’t think it represents the constituents of my ward.”
