@Matthew_Hoplite Nice! Your closest TLM is in Dallas or Ft. Worth though, enjoy the long hauls and give me a shout if in either one. Good folks down there.

Unhinged ANTI-CATHOLIC outburst by the Mayor against the crowd present on Thursday.

Just a few hours earlier, he had offered a groveling apology to Sands "Your company was not spoken of appropriately"(the company that insulted residents saying they were being paid by Oklahoma casinos).

But after his outburst against Catholics, he only made a partial and weak apology. Who does Mayor Stopper work for? Sands or the people of Irving?

[Thomas Crawford @t_rah19]

@LuisCanosaD4 Disgraceful behavior. I would argue that an ethics investigation should happen for him.

@dreamerintexas @LuisCanosaD4 He already is thinking smarter. Irving should aspire to be more like Frisco. Boring (Safe and family friendly) equals high ROI down the line. Let casino gaming go somewhere else, we don't need the seedy reputation that comes with it.

[Luis Canosa @LuisCanosaD4]

Promises were made by the Sands spokesperson during Friday's disastrous presentation to do dozens of town halls, with both opponents and supporters.

I am hereby taking up Las Vegas Sands on their implicit offer to do a town hall with me for the citizens of South Irving.

Will they deliver on their promise? Or continue building a track-record of untrustworthiness?

"So who exactly is it that you are representing, Mr. Stopfer and the City Council? Are you representing the citizens of the City of Irving? Or the Las Vegas Sands Corporation?"

Brave words of a resident calling out those representatives who are caving to billionaire special interests.

The audience applauded several times during his intervention at the last Planning & Zoning Commission meeting:

[Plano Young Republicans @YRPlano]

In response to @LuisCanosaD4 the Irving city councilman Kyle Taylor condescendingly states that not a single resident has expressed opposition to the casino project. The evidence sure seems to point in the opposite direction. 😂

[The Dallas Express News @DallasExpress]

Not one person who commented publicly during the Irving Planning & Zoning Commission work session on March 4 appeared pleased about a proposed rezoning action that could allow casino gambling in the city.

This shows why Las Vegas Sands is trying to move so quickly and hide from the public. Irving citizens are speaking up, and they are not happy, not a single one.

They don’t want a casino approved behind their backs in 3 weeks.

[Luis Canosa @LuisCanosaD4]

First, the Adelson family stabs Mavericks fans in the back by trading LUKA.

Now, they stab Irving citizens by trying to get zoning for a MEGA CASINO without their approval.

The next step will be building a predatory-gambling complex in Irving with the Mavs arena to exploit both Mavs fans and Irving residents.

If this gambling use is approved on March 20th, there will be no way for Irving citizens to walk it back or to restrict it, as evidenced by the responses I got during work session:

[Luis Canosa @LuisCanosaD4]

After I asked if Irving residents should have a say on whether or not a casino comes to our City, I was interrupted by Mayor Rick Stopfer.

He reasoned that dissatisfied Irving residents should vote in the statewide Constitutional Amendment that would legalize gambling and voice their concerns with State Representatives.

Shouldn't Irving residents have a say on the fate of their City should that Amendment where to pass?

Why should we let the 99% of Texas voters that reside outside of Irving decide whether this project will take place inside our City? Isn't the City Council supposed to listen to and represent the local community?

[Luis Canosa @LuisCanosaD4]

Yesterday a zoning case that would allow for CASINO GAMING on the parcel owned by Las Vegas Sands in Irving was for the first time presented to the City Council.

We are being asked to vote in 3 weeks with no input from the public.

Here is a summary of my remarks:

[Thomas Crawford @t_rah19]

@jlippincott @JohnDoe1441922 You’re banking a lot on state and local LEO submitting detainers, not that it’s a bad thing necessarily. Where’s the carrot and the stick if they don’t cooperate?

[Thomas Crawford @t_rah19]

@palmettoarmory Is it cool? Yeah sure! Did I want it in 45ACP for "We have UMP at home"? Yes.
