Alderman Comeau
Thank you, Madam President. If | could just add on to what Alderman Clemons was just saying. As someone who
spends a good deal of time losing money in these casinos seen firsthand, very well run security staffs that all three
establishments have and | have no doubts that there'll be able to handle whatever increase may come which is debatable
that there might even be an increase. It's already against the law to serve intoxicated people and the bartenders are
pretty good at identifying them. | don't really feel like it's going to be that big of aconcern. So | support the legislation as
it’s written.
Alderman Thibeault
Justa comment. And just to clarify, I'm for this. | just wanted to make sure that we had one person on Zoom and one

do feel comfortable that these establishments can handle that. | believe they can. Mr. Rafferty had spoken last time
about it as well. | believe the police are all on board with it too so I’m 100% for it. Thank you
President Wilshire
Further discussion?
Alderman Dowd
Yeah | too am very comfortable with their security and | know they can handle it. So no issues with the legislation as it's
currently written.
