Be sure to include your full name and the town where you live. Last week, I asked if we wanted casinos in Sullivan County. As if this were West Palm Beach or something, there was no consensus, with about 42 percent of respondents for casinos, about 42 percent against and about 14 percent unsure. Your opinion matters here. Peter, you see, is a serious amateur astronomer.
Casinos represent the ultimate in light pollution.
They will bring more vehicles and increase air pollution. I drive to Liberty twice a month or more because as an amateur astronomer in Orange County, I can't see much. So much of the night sky has already been taken away. I know plenty of amateur astronomers from NYC and the inner suburbs to view with my club up in Sullivan County. These are not poor people.
