The Yes Group plans to present petitions to the city council tonight that could return the riverboat gambling issue to the ballot in November. What do you think?

Peter Woltemade: "I think it's a bit silly for it to come up for a vote again this soon. If it's had a chance and been shot down, it shouldn't come back up."

Kim Davidson: "I think that's great. Nobody's going to forget about it. Everybody's really frantic about it not passing."

Nick Moore: "It's their right but I'd vote against it. (The petition drive) is part of the democratic process, but I hope it gets voted down."

Sharon Raines: "I wish they would (vote in riverboat gambling). Then I wouldn't have to go all the way to Las Vegas to gamble."

Christine Williams: "I don't think it should (be returned to the ballot). If your side didn't win and you didn't vote it's your own fault."

Jack Foust: "I think they should put it on the ballot and give people a chance at it. But they'll probably lose again this soon. I think they should wait awhile."
