Lincoln's gambling referendum tomorrow

Do you support the expansion of gaming hours at Twin River (formerly known as Lincoln Park) from its current closing hours to 24 hours per day, seven days per week?”

Do you support the expansion of gaming operations at Twin River (formerly known as Lincoln Park) to include full-scale casino gambling operations including, but not limited to, table games?

Lincoln residents get to give their answers to those questions tomorrow during a nonbinding referendum.

The ballot's author, Town Council President Jeremiah T. O'Grady, says the questions are basically trying to get to the heart of another question: "Do we endorse the concept of full-scale casino gambling in our town or not?"

The polls will be open from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.

The polling places are:

- The new middle school, at 152 Jenckes Hill Rd. St.
- James Elementary School, at 57 Division St. in the Manville section;
- Lonsdale Elementary School, at 270 River Rd. in Lonsdale;
- Saylesville Elementary School, at 50 Woodland St. in Saylesville.
