A committee who calls themselves Good for Oregon is proposing to build a gaming center in the Gresham, Oregon area. Specifically, they are looking at the abandoned Multnomah Kennel Club location (NE 223rd/Halsey). The group estimates that the project would bring 3,000 permanent employees and 2,000 construction jobs to the area. They have filed initiatives with the Oregon Secretary of State's office and will be seeking voter support in this year's November election. Would you support this initiative?
