Sunshine, good point. I agree, when the Horse Park was first discussed, I thought, so what? No problem, but then found out its a betting parlour and racetrack, and became concerned about the obvious midleading name for the project. This makes me suspicious right from the start. What else will be in store for us?

I agree with Mrs. & Mrs. VK, "My wife and I will vote a resounding NO to the proposed "horse park", AKA betting parlor. We'd suggest all of you think about the possible results before you cast your own votes."
