🚨 BC Ferries awarded a $1B contract to China’s CMI Weihai Shipyard 🇨🇳. Canadian shipyards didn’t bid due to capacity limits 🏗️. That means no 🇨🇦 jobs during construction, zero tax revenue 💸, and thousands of tons of Chinese steel. BC Ferries argues cost, timelines & hybrid-electric tech justified the move 🔋. Local jobs will come later through maintenance 🔧, but critics say we handed away a major opportunity 🇨🇦💔. Sovereignty, industry growth & national security are at stake! ⚠️

🚨 BC Ferries a attribué un contrat de 1 milliard de dollars à CMI Weihai Shipyard en Chine 🇨🇳. Les chantiers navals canadiens n’ont pas pu soumissionner faute de capacité 🏗️. Résultat : aucun emploi 🇨🇦 pendant la construction, zéro revenu fiscal 💸 et des milliers de tonnes d’acier chinois. BC Ferries justifie sa décision par les coûts, les délais et la technologie hybride-électrique 🔋. Des emplois locaux viendront plus tard via la maintenance 🔧, mais les critiques dénoncent une occasion majeure sacrifiée 🇨🇦💔. Notre souveraineté, notre industrie et notre sécurité nationale sont en jeu ! ⚠️

One more "yes" vote and the state takes over control of our city. Look what happened when we voted "yes" to a jai-alai fronton in the 1970's.

In the early 1990's the state allowed it to transform into what Paolino's radio ad calls a full "casino" by adding video slot terminals and removing the jai alai court, without a vote from us. The state has turned us into their private money machine and doesn't give a damn about what it does to our fair city and quality of life!  The addition of table games is there to push for bigger bets and non-mechanized accounting of the monies, which could open Newport Grand up to corruption.

Vote No, to not have the state control what happens in our city!   Should Providence decide Newport's future or should Newporters! Don't be fooled. The Developers will promise anything to get your vote, but their promises are not binding or real!

Adm. Joe Stasser's Letter to the CCACG - Can Newport afford to lose the Navy for a casino?

I am the longest-serving president of the Naval War College. While there are many aspects of gambling harmful to a wide spectrum of society, I focus my attention on its Navy impact. As a result of the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure Commission (BRAC) action, the annual student throughput at Naval Station Newport is more than 17,300, an increase of 88 percent. At some point, 70 percent of all Navy officers come to Newport for training. Non-student base personnel, which includes active and retired officers and enlisted, plus civilian government employees and contractors number over 8,000. According to the Southeastern New England Defense Industrial Association, in 2013 the Rhode Island defense sector supported 32,993 jobs (6 percent of total employment in Rhode Island), creating $1.9 billion in household income and $105 million in tax revenue. Students attending training programs on the base spent $46 million locally. Obviously, the Navy plays an enormous role in the Rhode Island economy. I hope that will continue. While I am retired and don’t speak for the Navy, my concern continues for the well-being of Navy personnel, particularly our young enlisted qualifying for food stamps. My wife and I lived on Aquidneck Island for more than 16 years and found it a most wholesome place to live. I fear the danger of losing some of that wholesomeness to the scourge of increased casino gambling. Most of the students on the base are here without family. They are looking for ways to pass their free time, as are our young enlisted permanently stationed in Newport. Increased opportunities for gambling and drinking late at night and early morning is downright detrimental to their classroom work and career progression. A larger and more diverse casino within a short walk of the base is not in the best interest of the Navy nor its personnel who could be tempted to gamble precious family support dollars. I am also concerned that the Innovation Hub being planned to support technology and work with the Navy could be negatively impacted by a casino located right beside it. Don’t risk the base, the proposed Innovation Hub, the well-being of our sailors, the very positive economic impact of the Navy on Rhode Island, and the possibility of another BRAC by allowing the expansion of gambling at Newport Grand. I most strongly urge you to reject Question 1 on the November election ballot. Joseph S. Strasser
