As reported by the Independent: "Canal Fulton City Manager Mark Cozy
believes a community survey conducted by the Eastern Shawnee Tribe of
Oklahoma was designed with one purpose in mind: Marketing. "Cozy also said
that many Canal Fulton residents are undecided about the tribe's plans for a
casino resort, which proponents say will bring jobs and revenue to the city
of about 5,000. "The Shawnee surveyed 250 registered Canal Fulton voters,
and released highlights of that survey at Tuesday's City Council meeting.
".Among the results released, a majority of participants identified school
funding, high taxes and government spending as major problems and concerns
in the community. Twelve percent of participants said the casino and tribe
were major problems and concerns."
