To the Editor:
After reading The Yes Group Responds" in Sunday's editorial letters, since they seem so concerned about economics,
I have three questions for them:
1. How much did the Friday (9/24/93) promotion soiree cost?
2. How much of the promotion's cost was paid by the Boyd Group?
3. Are these businessmen, so flushed with anticipation about all the new business a casino riverboat would bring them, giving any serious thought to the business they are already losing from those of us who feel gambling would be a colossal mistake for our city and who are weary of seeing these businessmen's names and faces so prominently displayed as unmitigated supporters of gambling parasitism?
Sincerely yours,
James L. Fletcher, Jr.
