Jake’s had a bad rap CALLICOON — He’s not a gambling guy, he’s a water guy, Assemblyman Jacob Gunther argued to the Villa Roma audience at the April 28 Upper Delaware Council (UDC) awards banquet. He’s gotten a lot of bad press, in which he appears to be concentrating all of his efforts on gambling, Gunther told the audience in a part of the county known to be less than unanimous in its support of casino gaming in Sullivan County. The Forestburgh Democrat-Conservative complained that all anyone has to do is “burp” the word casino and the daily press will report it, and at the same time it fails to report on other important on things that he’s done and enjoys more. Gunther said he’s been a proponent of a referendum to allow a public voice about gaming in the county. “I’m concerned that that’s not happened and that it’s taken a dastardly attack on our country to jump start [gaming],” he said. He charged that the Pataki administration had appropriated a “Gunther initiative” in video lottery terminals (VLT’s) at horse racing tracks, “but not until they needed the money.” |
