Let The Lawsuits Begin!

Now that the two casino locations in Philadelphia have been selected — that’s Foxwoods, along the Delaware in Pennsport, and Sugarhouse, on the waterfront in Fishtown — it’s time for everyone’s favorite Philadelphia tradition: Lawsuits!

City Councilman Frank DiCicco has already announced his plans for a lawsuit against both locations, based on the fact his constituents will like him for it. KYW 1060’s Mike Dunn quotes DiCicco:

“There’s total gridlock today. And [with a casino] you raise the level of vehicles by somewhere between two and four million additional vehicles a year. I don’t know how anyone’s going to get to the river.”

God bless the automobile, for giving groups a reason to file lawsuits besides “my property values might go down.”

    I don’t understand why the Philly area needs casinos at all?? If you look at http://www.delawarepark.com you’ll see that there’s plenty here for the slots and horse-race lovers, and then there’s Atlantic City for the hard-core gamblers. Both are, what, less than 2 hours away?? Stupid.
