Bellflower : Card Casino Opponents to Have Panel Discussion
A group of card casino opponents led by Bellflower City Council members Ruth Gilson and John Ansdell will meet Sunday in an informal panel discussion.
It will be the first in a series leading up to an Aug. 10 ballot on the card club issue, organizers said.
Gilson and Ansdell are working to get voters to turn down the proposal to build a 10-acre, $40-million casino, put forth by a group of local businessmen and former politicians under the name Cougar Club Limited. Gilson and Ansdell were the two opposing votes on the council’s 3-2 decision to take the issue to voters.
Their group, known as “No On A: The People Decide” will meet at 2 p.m. at the First Christian Reform Church, 17603 Ardmore Ave.
