– Dennis Bailey, executive director of CasinosNO!, released the following statement today in response to the resignation of Pat LaMarche as spokesperson for the proposed Oxford County casino:
“I have a great deal of respect for Pat LaMarche and commend her for her ethical standards. Unfortunately she found out the hard way that ethics and casinos don’t always go together. It’s important to remember that the original promoter of the Bangor casino, Shawn Scott, was unable to obtain a license to operate the casino due to his questionable background, yet he walked away with millions after selling it to another casino developer. This ‘get-rich-scheme’ is no doubt the plan of the Oxford County casino promoters, just as it is for the people behind the latest proposal for slot machines at Scarborough Downs. Meanwhile, the voters are left wondering who is really behind these operations and where the financing is coming from.
“Apparently these questions became too much for Pat LaMarche, or she didn’t like the answers. We hope that she will be even more forthcoming and provide the voters of Maine with the details of her concerns before going to the polls in November.”
