I was leaning towards voting against this measure, but after hearing Matthew Rossman dodge questions about the profits for investors while repeating the $150 million in revenue for the state, I'm completely opposed to this just based on his duplicity. If he's certain about the one figure - based off of adjusted gross revenue - how can he not have a number to give out that estimates investor's profits? It feels sneaky, and makes me feel that this project is really only going to benefit the investors at the expense of the community.
