As reported by the Canton Repository: "Canal Fulton City Council members
were both bewildered and dismayed about a telephone survey being conducted
by Discovery Research Group about casinos. "Council members were bewildered
because none knew anything about the survey. City Manager Mark Cozy said the
Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma contacted him July 26 about the survey and
he informed Mayor John Grogan. "Cozy said he told the tribe representative
that he was concerned that residents did not have all the information about
the casino. Grogan said the tribe was paying for the survey. "Council and
other city officials were dismayed by the information the survey takers were
telling residents and the questions they were asking."
