Turtles, Redcoats Delay Casino
 |
The paper talks to the Casino's communications director, Leigh Whitaker: "We did an investigation during the turtles' normal, natural nesting season. Our study found there was no evidence of turtles nesting or living on the site." Oh. That's not going to work. Let's get to the other one, then.
Daniel Rubin reports American history could stop the casino from building on the site, as a bunch of history nerds think there was a British fort there and want to get a chance to excavate the site first. Nerds are always getting in the way.
Rubin, by the way, also reports this: "If a Revolutionary War fort can't slow the SugarHouse casino, it surely can slow it." Indeed it can.

Those democracy-scuttling assholes deserve any and all delays the opposition can throw. If they play dirty they should be prepared for the other side to do it too.
