David Vincent,
Monday marks a very critical meeting for the future of our Mississippi Gulf Coast. Many millions of dollars are at stake for our economic future. Mr. Kenneth Feinberg will be here to meet with local and state officials, specifically concerning the handling of thousands of bp claims from casino employees. As we here all know, casino employees are a large and important part of our Coastal economic engine. We have happily already seen electricians, plumbers, cleaners, and many more paid emergency claims. It's pretty obvious that the reason they have come up short is that we have come up short.
We are all very happy that bp paid many boat people and clean-up people to come here and work. These delightful people have been very much appreciated. Here are some differences though. Many rooms were paid full price, instead of having been comped, increasing casino revenue. Most boat people had little gambling experience. Generally, they lost more and tipped less. Revenue up, tips down.
Speaking of our very sacred 1st Amendment, free speech is easily bought by those with billions, and hard won by those with a cause. Thank you so much for looking out for us.
Thanks again,
