On this site I have been reading about how concerned everyone is about saving our Great Lakes and protecting the shorelines yet there is never any mention of 'projects' as they begin so people can have their say.
Here is a big casino resort going up in Muskegon, Michigan.
Casino-resort pitched for Muskegon
MUSKEGON -- Word is spreading for plans of a $2.5 billion tribal casino and resort in Muskegon.

The developer, Archimedes Group LLC, says the casino is the catalyst for the project. But the master plan entails an entire resort with a water park, hotels, restaurants and shops.
The plan was unveiled Monday night in a closed meeting with community leaders. It has been in the works since 2003 when voters passed a non-binding ballot proposal supporting the concept of a casino.

Since then, developers have been waiting for the local Native-American tribe - the Grand River Band of Ottawa Indians - to get federal recognition.
The next step will be getting the land in trust, which could take years.
The end goal, they say, is to revitalize Muskegon and make it an attraction spot. It is an idea that sounds good to city leaders, too.

'We want people to come here and when they leave we want them to feel a sense of loss. We want them to come back,' Dick Anderson of Archimedes Group LLC told 24 Hour News 8.
'When you look at a project like this that is brining in how many thousands of people...those visitors can turn into be investors,' said Muskegon Mayor Steve Warmington. 'I think you need to take a look at those types of things.'
He adds investment in the downtown area can be a great thing, keeping the community around and bringing in tourism.
Developers say a prime example is the Lake Express Ferry that travels across Lake Michigan from Muskegon to Milwaukee.
They say travelers land in Michigan and disperse, and they would like to give them reason to stay.

'The potentiality along the shoreline is unbelievable. We want to put Muskegon on the map in the right way. Simple,' said Anderson.
Now, here we go again. Shorelines destroyed by development with the sole motive being profit.
Here we go again with another 'Compact' where Native Americans are fronting for mobsters and big-business.

Here we go again with 5,000 more workers being forced to work in a smoke-filled casino at poverty wages without any rights under state or federal labor laws without any voice at work or in their communities.

Here we go again with everyone looking the other way because here comes a company promising 5,000 jobs but not telling us exactly what these jobs wil pay.
Here we go again with a bunch of politicians working for big-business and the mobsters who control the one-armed bandits.
I suppose we will be hearing from those who have posted on this list that this is all going to be done in an environmentally freindly, green manner.
Lakeshore
Here we go again, a Native American tribe only now seeking 'recognition' after big-business and mobsters need them for a front for their environmentally destructive, profit generating scam.

No body invests $2.5 without anticipating huge, huge, profits.
That this entire scheme began with this company financing the local election is shameful and disgusting. Let an independent party try to gain ballot access and the Democrats and Republicans scream bloody murder. Here we have a corporation buying an election that includes making sure nobody knew about the real plans. So much for democracy.
