The Editor,

Martin Cooper of Surrey should get his head out of the sand.

He's so wrong about his community generating their money locally. Being so close to the border, you can bet we'll be getting a lot of Americans spending their money in our casino.

Plus, the majority of casino workers are paid well; with tips and benefits, they have some of the best wages.

Also, I think in a community like South Surrey our seniors can get a lot of enjoyment without travelling a long distance.
