<p class="mobile-post">Plans are underway to open up a slots parlor with potential future poker
rooms in the space formerly occupied by the Bethlehem Steel Corp, unless
protestors have their way. A group opposed to the development of the Lehigh
Valley casino is preparing to hire attorneys and take other steps to block
progress. The Bethlehem Defense Fund is the name of the outfit, and they are
taking advice from traffic consultants and engineers while monitoring the
Sands Bethworks Gaming LLC casino plan. The attorneys, James D. Rawlings II
and Timothy T. Stevens, have been hired to pursue all avenues to prevent
gaming in the area.</p>
