As reported by the Louisville Courier-Journal: "Two groups of Harrison and
Floyd residents gave Caesars Indiana casino overwhelmingly high marks
yesterday for improving their community. "The casino's tax revenues and
incentive payments to two local community foundations have helped pay for
college scholarships, adult-education programs and an array of projects.
"That message was delivered to two consultants who visited Corydon yesterday
on behalf of the Indiana Gaming Commission, which is performing an
investigation on Caesars as part of renewing the boat's license later this
year. ".About 43 people testified in detail about how more than $100 million
over eight years has helped the county and region."
