The Weekly Question

Is a combination racetrack and casino a good idea for Bass Park?

“Yes and no. Moneywise, it would be a good idea, but there are other considerations.”

“No. I’d like to see the auditorium and park area do something more family-oriented.”

Karen Foley, Bangor

“Yeah, I think it would bring money and tourism to the community.”

Michael Dunphy, Bangor

“I’d say no. What kind of crowd does it attract? That’s my question.”

Al Nygren, Hampden

“No, I don’t think there’s the population to support it.”

Eric Marsh, Bangor

“Yes, it’s a nice park and racetrack, and if you’re going to gamble on horses, what’s the difference?”

Fred Vardamis, Bangor

“Yes, I think it would bring more money to Bangor.”

Tabitha Lindsey, Hermon
