A tip of the press hat to Joey Coleman for his efforts in video recording the Gaming Facility Proposal Subcommittee meeting yesterday as well as his video recordings of many other committee and subcommittee meetings that are usually not recorded by the City of Hamilton itself. 2012 has been a breakthrough year for Hamilton in that Mr. Coleman is now providing Hamiltonians with a larger and clearer real-time window on municipal affairs than they have ever had before. Equally important is that, other than recently receiving donations for video equipment, etc., he has done all of this on a volunteer, not-for-profit basis. He deserves to be nominated for Citizen of the Year for 2012.

Yesterday’s meeting of the Gaming Facility Proposal Subcommittee, which included some useful fact gathering, discussion and requests for additional information, has generated the following news items from the mainstream Hamilton media:

A Hamilton Spectator article titled “Problem gamblers can’t resist nearby casino: Medical Officer of Health” by Emma Reilly: http://www.thespec.com/news/local/articl...
