66% of Pope County Voters Think the Casino Should Move Forward as Approved by Arkansans in 2018.
In 2018, Arkansans voted to establish 4 casinos.
Three casinos are running, generating more than $160 million in tax revenue between April 2019 and Jan. 2022.
Fair Play for Arkansas - funded by a rejected out-of-state casino operator hiding behind faith groups - seeks to amend the Arkansas Constitution to take away the Pope County casino license.
Do not allow Fair Play to deprive Pope County and the state of millions in tax revenue + jobs!
DECLINE TO SIGN THE PETITION!
