Here is a link to an opinion piece by the Spectator editorial board today titled "If no casino referendum, consultation is crucial" http://www.thespec.com/opinion/columns/a...

There is also a commentary by Andrew Dreschel titled "Bratina pushes for casino conditions" in the Spectator print edition today but an online link does not seem to be up yet. He states that Mayor Bratina is bringing a motion at next week's council meeting to set up "...a subcommittee to determine what conditions council should impose on OLG's upcoming shout-out for casino proposals."

Dreschel adds: "Councillors solidly backed the idea, with the sole exception of Brian McHattie.

McHattie is concerned the group signals a weakness of council's support for Flamboro Downs and the struggling horse racing industry.

He also argues a casino is such a big issue, all councillors should be involved, not just a subcommittee.

In response, Bratina noted the group would make no final decisions but report to the general issues committee."
