Vote Yes Linn County Led by Steve Gray (casino investor) ▫Stated that the casino would be located downtown ▫The casino would create over 600 jobs ▫Create millions of dollars in revenue Supported by Marcia Rogers ▫Argues that casino would generate $4 million annually for charities (Iowa law) Supported by Mayor Ron Corbett ▫Bring more business to the city owned hotel and convention center ▫Corbett discarded Kehl’s waterpark proposal calling it a “last minute ploy”

Proposed Mediation Downsize the casino plan ▫Pair the casino with a small, indoor waterpark Cedar Rapids needs an attraction ▫61% are in favor, even after an alternative option was proposed Other casinos ▫Will not lose more than 10% of their business ▫Have other selling features (Riverside Golf Course)
