Ohio could become country’s
third area to legalize casinos
LORAIN, Ohio (AP) — This city on Lake Erie is
moving closer to becoming the third area in the country
with legalized casino gambling, but residents still dis
agree whether a casino would be a blessing or a curse.
Lorain, an economically struggling and largely blue-
collar city of 72,000 people, would have a referendum
on the issue under the proposal the state House ap
proved March 15.
“It would make more work and brighten this little
town up,” said Herman Ricks, 50, a 27-year employee at
Ford Motor Co.’s i,orain Assembly Plant.
But Linda Hamilton, 32, a mother of two, said she
may already start to fight against the proposal.
“I think it would hurt Lorain, and it would hurt Lo
rain families,” said Hamilton. ‘‘I think crime would def
initely go up.”
The proposal, which has been pending for 14
months, faces an uncertain future in the state Senate,
where hearings start next month. Gov. Richard Celeste
won’t say yet whether he would sign or veto the legis
lation.
House approval sparked a surge of opposition, in
cluding comments from Cleveland’s top two elected of
ficials that a casino might attract organized crime. An
organization of Roman Catholic bishops in Ohio op
poses any change in state law that could lead to devel
opment of a casino.
Ohio law allows charity bingo, horse racing and the
state-run lottery, but casino gambling is legal only in the
state of Nevada and in Atlantic City, N.J.
T he originator of the proposal is Alan Spitzer, whose
family operates more than 20 car dealerships in Ohio
and Llorida. Spitzer envisions building a $400 million
resort that will include a 1,000-room hotel, restaurants,
shops and a casino on a former American Shipbuilding
Co. property his family owns on the Black River, which
meets Lake Erie at Lorain, 29 miles west of Cleveland.
The bill’s sponsor, state Rep. Joseph Koziura, be
lieves voters would approve the casino proposal.
Koziura, a Democrat from Lorain, bristles when he
talks about opposition by Cleveland Mayor George Voi-
novich, a Republican, and Cleveland City Council Presi
dent George Lorbes, a Democrat.
“This is not a Republican or a Democratic bill,” Ko
ziura said. “This bill is simply an economic development
tool that we feel we ought to have the right to vote on.”
Many believe the project would be an economic
boom to Lorain, which has struggled in the 1980s be
cause of the loss of about 5,000 jobs at the USX plant,
the elimination of approximately 2,000jobs at Ford and
the 1983 shutdown of American Shipbuilding, which at
its peak employed 1,500.
