It’s time for the residents of Scarborough to wake up and smell the horse manure. For the past few years, Scarborough Downs has been very busy spreading their money and influence around town with sponsorships, ads, civic organization memberships and charitable contributions. Did Scarborough Downs suddenly discover its social conscience? Or is Scarborough Downs thoroughly greasing the wheels in town with the hope of passing the racino/slots referendum when it comes up for a vote again? Do we want slot machines (and Penn National) to change our landscape? We need to start giving this some serious thought.
