Rhode Island Anti-Casino Group Creates New Website

A major casino-opponent group in West Warwick, Rhode Island, recently launched a new website attacking Harrah's Entertainment's proposed casino complex. Thus far, West Warwick Citizens Against the Casino has been significantly outperformed in its public relations by the gaming giant that can afford an immense advertising budget.

The group's new website was created by a volunteer. The home page features a color photograph of a local home in the residential neighborhood surrounding the industrial park in which Harrah's officials seek to construct a casino, hotel and a multi-story parking garage.

West Warwick Citizens Against the Casino cooperates with other anti-casino groups across the state. According to the group, Harrah's must not build its resort at the proposed location because it is likely to create too much traffic and might waste the little water that still remains for new development. The casino foes are also using their website to recruit new members and ask for donations.
